If you’re using Prometheus and Grafana to monitor the performance and health of Fusion services, Lucidworks provides pre-configured Grafana dashboards in the fusion-cloud-native repo.

Configure Grafana

If you used the install_prom.sh script to install Prometheus and Grafana into your Fusion namespace, retrieve the initial Grafana password from a Kubernetes secret.

Run the following:
```
kubectl get secret --namespace "${NAMESPACE}" ${RELEASE}-monitoring-grafana \
  -o jsonpath="{.data.admin-password}" | base64 --decode ; echo
```
Replace ${RELEASE} with your Helm release label, which is typically the same as your ${NAMESPACE} value.

To see the name of the Grafana deployment, run: kubectl get deploy.
With Grafana, you can either set up a temporary port-forward to a Grafana pod or expose Grafana on an external IP using a Kubernetes LoadBalancer. To define a LoadBalancer, run:
```
kubectl expose deployment ${RELEASE}-monitoring-grafana --type=LoadBalancer --name=grafana --port=3000 --target-port=3000
```
Use kubectl get services --namespace <namespace> to verify that the load balancer is set up and has an external IP address.
Navigate your browser to http://<GrafanaIP>:3000. Log in with the username admin@localhost and the password that was returned in the previous step.
(optional) Create another administrative user with a more desirable password.

Configure the Prometheus datasource

If you used the install_prom.sh script, a default Prometheus datasource is pre-configured for you. If not, configure the Prometheus datasource in Grafana:

Click the gear icon on the left and navigate to Data Sources.
Click Add Data Source. Select Prometheus as the datasource type.

You are redirected to a page that asks for the address of the Prometheus server.
Enter http://<RELEASE>-prom-prometheus-server
(optional) Configure any additional fields, if desired.
Click Save and Test.

Import the Grafana dashboards

If you used the install_prom.sh script, then Fusion’s default Grafana dashboards will already be imported. If not, import the dashboards from the fusion-cloud-native repo.

Click the gear icon on the left and select Import.
Import the Grafana dashboard JSON.
Click the Load button.
