Telemetry Dashboards¶

Each ICOS Controller includes a Grafana instance to support ICOS administrators to visualize the metrics collected in the system through a set of pre-defined dashboards. Since this interface is not meant to be used directly by ICOS Application Integrators, it is not exposed by default to the extern.

Access to Grafana¶

The Grafana instance is deployed by default in each ICOS Controller, but not exposed to the extern by default. There are two ways to access it:

1. (temporary solution) use the kubectl port-forward command¹:

   # namespace and service name to be customized
   kubectl -n icos-system port-forward svc/contrl1-grafana 3000:3000
   

2. (permanent solution) modify the ICOS Controller release Helm values to expose Grafana:

   global:
     controller:
       telemetry:
         exposeGrafana: true
   

   In this case, Grafana will be exposed accordingly to the exposure settings defined for the ICOS Controller (see Exposure section)

Once Grafana is exposed it is possible to open its URL in the browser and log-in:

1. using the admin user. The password can be retrieved from the cluster in the <Release Name>-grafana-admin secret:

   # namespace and service name to be customized
   kubectl -n icos-system get secret contrl1-grafana-admin -o jsonpath='{.data.password}' | base64 -d
   

2. Using the ICOS IAM service (Click on Sign-in with ICOS IAM*)

ICOS Agent View Dashboard¶

The ICOS Agent View dashboards provide an overview of the entire ICOS Continuum.
