Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring data source [BETA]

Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring (previously SignalFx) for Grafana.

Configuration

There are only two fields required to complete the configuration:

• Access Token: is generated by your SignalFx account. There's more than one type that you can choose from.
• Realm: A self-contained deployment that hosts your organization. You can find your realm name on your profile page when signed in to the SignalFx user interface.

Usage

Using the Query Editor

The query editor accepts a SignalFlow program/query.

Labels

A Signalflow label (publish(label = 'foo')) is applied as metadata to the results: "label":"foo"

Using Template Variables

Creating template variables is generally the same as with any plugin.

Query Type Template Variables

Creating a query type template variable is also very similar, but there is no Query field. Instead, you select one of the following query types:

• dimensions
• metrics
• or tags

Ad-hoc Filters

Ad hoc filters are supported, allowing global filters using dimensions.

Using Annotations

Grafana annotations are supported.

When creating Annotations, use SignalFlow Alerts or Events queries.

Example of getting Alerts for a detector:

alerts(detector_name='Deployment').publish();

Example of getting custom Events by type:

events(eventType='simulated').publish();
