DP³

CESNET DP³ plugin for Grafana.

Provides simple and universal platform to access and visualize data from any DP³ instance.

Includes DP³ data source support, panel for displaying history of multi value attributes, as well as a dashboard generator.

Getting started

Installation

This plugin can be installed from Grafana plugin catalog.

To do so, navigate to Menu > Administration > Plugins, search for DP³ and press Install button.

Adding data source

After installation, add a new DP³ data source in Data sources page in your Grafana web interface. You will need a DP³ API URL thats accessible from user's browser.

Dashboard generation

The plugin provides an overview page for all configured DP³ data sources and dashboard generation. It's located in Menu > Apps > DP³.

You can generate two types of dashboards for every entity type:

  • full overview: contains just one table with all current values of all attributes
  • EID: contains one or more panels for each attribute and displays both current value and history of EID entered in the dashboard itself

Modifying and extending generated dashboards

These generated dashboards are meant primarily for reference and getting started, so when you get to know Grafana better, it's highly recommended to modify them or even better, to create a completely custom dashboard for your use-case. This way, you can even combine data from multiple data sources (including non-DP³) together.

Documentation

Documentation for whole DP³ project is available here: https://cesnet.github.io/dp3/

Installing DP³ on Grafana Cloud:

For more information, visit the docs on plugin installation.

Installing on a local Grafana:

For local instances, plugins are installed and updated via a simple CLI command. Plugins are not updated automatically, however you will be notified when updates are available right within your Grafana.

1. Install the Application

Use the grafana-cli tool to install DP³ from the commandline:

grafana-cli plugins install 

The plugin will be installed into your grafana plugins directory; the default is /var/lib/grafana/plugins. More information on the cli tool.

2. Enable it

Next, log into your Grafana instance. Navigate to the Plugins section, found in your Grafana main menu.

Click the Apps tabs in the Plugins section and select the newly installed app.

To enable the app, click the Config tab. Follow the instructions provided with the application and click Enable. The app and any new UI pages are now accessible from within the main menu, as designed by the app creator.

If dashboards have been included with the application, they will attempt to be automatically installed. To view the dashboards, re-import or delete individual dashboards, click the Dashboards tab within the app page.
