Enable Grafana metrics on Privacera Platform

Privacera allows you to use Grafana as a metric and monitoring system. Grafana dashboards are pre-built in Privacera for services such as Dataserver, PolicySync and Usersync to monitor the health of the services. Grafana uses the time-series data from the Privacera services and turns them into graphs and visualizations.

Grafana uses Graphite's query to pull the time-series data and create charts and graphs based on this data.

Supported services

The following services are supported on Grafana:

  • Dataserver

  • PolicySync

  • UserSync

Configuration steps

  1. To enable Grafana, run the following command. This will enable both Grafana and Graphite.

    cd ~/privacera/privacera-manager/
    cp config/sample-vars/vars.grafana.yml config/custom-vars/
  2. Run the update.

    cd ~/privacera/privacera-manager/
    ./privacera-manager.sh
