Grafana dashboard

Prerequisite: Prometheus scrape

Set metrics_port in your config to a non-zero value so Barbacana opens its /metrics listener, and point Prometheus at it. With the default metrics_port: 0, no metrics endpoint exists and the dashboard panels stay empty.

Barbacana ships a single Grafana dashboard organised around the SRE Four Golden Signals — Latency, Traffic, Errors, Saturation. One JSON, one import, one URL to bookmark. This is just a starting point, and you can modify it as you like.

Importing into Grafana

  1. Download barbacana.json from the docs assets.

  2. In Grafana, open Dashboards → New → Import. Upload the file (or paste the JSON), pick your Prometheus data source when prompted, and save.
