With the Azion data source plugin on Grafana, you can customize your own dashboard to visualize the data you need.

Customizing a dashboard on Grafana

After installing a Grafana instance locally on your machine and authorizing the Azion plugin, open it.

Follow the next steps:

1. On the left-side menu, click on Dashboards. The dashboard page opens.
2. Next to the search bar, click New > New Dashboard.
3. On the Add panel card, select Add a new panel.
4. On the second section of the page, below the preview, on Data source dropdown menu, select Azion.

   • See the GraphQL API guides for a few examples of queries.

The five fields below can be used to complete your setup depending on what type of visualization you’re using and what you want to see on your graphs:

• Data path: add the value Metrics.
• Time path: inform a timestamp. The field is dot-delimited.
• Time format: inform a time format in moment.js format.
• Group by: use the field you want to use to group your data aggregation.
