About OCI Metrics plugin for Grafana
Introduction
This plugin makes queries to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure(OCI) Monitoring Service to fetch metrics for your OCI resources or your custom metrics in OCI. And then displays them on Grafana.
If you are running Grafana on a machine instance in Oracle Cloud, use the Instance Principal with a configured Dynamic Group and policy to allow you to read metrics and compartments.
If you are running Grafana anywhere else you'll need to get the necessary provider and resource settings, as described in this section Getting OCI Configuration values
Latest plugin version 5.X.X (available on Grafana Marketplace) is compatible with Grafana 10.
Breaking changes:
- In case you are migrating from a previous version (3.x.x or below) of the OCI Metrics Grafana Plugin and are not using Instance Principals (Environment not set as OCI instance), please refer to the Migration Instructions for Grafana OCI Metrics Data Source Settings (User Principals and Single Tenancy mode only) because you will have to reconfigure the plugin setup
- In case you are migrating from a previous version (4.x.x or below) of the OCI Metrics Grafana Plugin to version 5.x.x and your dashboard is using dimensions in its selectors or as its template variables, please refer to this section to modify your dashboard accordingly to the new dimensions selector.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Metrics plugin is datasource with backend type of Grafana plugin. Hereafter referred to as OCI Metrics plugin.
Installation
Please refers to the following compatibility matrix to choose plugin version accordingly to your Grafana installation: Compatibility Matrix
In order to simplify the installation process, we created detailed guides for you to follow.
Install Grafana and the OCI Metrics plugin on a Linux host using this document.
Install Grafana and the OCI Metrics plugin on Grafana Cloud using this document.
Install Grafana and the OCI Metrics plugin on a MacOS host using this document.
Install Grafana and the OCI Metrics plugin on a virtual machine in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure using this document.
Install Grafana and the OCI Metrics plugin on a virtual machine in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure using Terraform using this document.
Install Grafana and the OCI Metrics plugin on Kubernetes in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure using this document
Once you have the OCI Metrics Plugin installed, configure your datasource with your tenancy OCID, default region, and right IAM setup(Dynamic Group or OCI User Auth with local Private key file on Grafana Server node-depending where you're running the Grafana-Oracle Cloud or elsewhere).
We also have documentation for how to use the newly installed and configured plugin in our Using Grafana with OCI Metric Plugin walkthrough.
Note 1
If you're using a version of Grafana that's older than 6.0, you will need to download the zip file for plugin versions <=2.2.4 and install this plugin manually, or chmod the binary that is downloaded to make it executable.
Note 2
The OCI Metrics plugin supports the integration with Grafana Cloud with Data Source Environment configured as local. See this document for additional information.
Debugging
Please make sure that the golang version installed is 1.16 and grafana version installed is 8.x.x
If you want to debug golang backend plugin code, follow the steps below:
Install gops to list running go processes on your machine
Run
gopsand find processId foroci-plugin_darwin_amd64processCopy this processId to the
.vscode/launch.jsonIn your VSCode from 'Debug' menu call 'Start Debugging'

Added a region option to getCompartment method (V1.0.9) - 12 Mar 2020
When OCI tenancy is provision with a single region, say 'us-phoenix-1' (home tenancy) and the datasource setting with local has the default regions as 'us-ausburn-1' (in the ~/.oci/config file), the getCompartment does not return the compartment list. The reason being the OCI tenancy has only one tenancy as home and that is not the 'us-phoenix-1' tenancy.
The fix is to set region to the home regions of the OCI tenancy, while making the getCompartment call.
Thanks Jayesh Patel

dimensions()which show all possible dimension keys for selected region, compartment, namespace and metricdimensionOptions()which show all possible dimension values for selected region, compartment, namespace, metric and dimension key.
Dimension value variable can be used as multi-value. Separate queries are generated for each dimension value out of multi-select (but no more than 20 queries)
Custom query is supported. User can type MQL expression manually which will be passed to telemetry instead of selected on the UI metric and dimensions.
Custom template variables were added to the list of dimension value options. Duplicate options are removed.
Options for regions and compartments are cached while query editor is open. Dimension options are cached for the selected region - compartment - namespace - metric.
<a name="V1.0.4"></a>
