Viewing Metric Data in AOM Using Grafana

Prerequisites

• You have purchased an ECS.
• You have purchased an EIP and bound it to the ECS. For details, see Elastic IP Getting Started.

Procedure

1. Install and start Grafana. For details, see the Grafana official documentation.
2. Add an access code.
   1. Log in to the AOM console. In the navigation pane, choose Configuration Management > Access Management.
   2. Click Add AccessCode.

      NOTE:

      • You can create up to two access codes for each project.
      • An access code is an identity credential for calling APIs. Keep your access code secure.
   3. In the dialog box that is displayed, click OK to add the access code.
   4. After the access code is added, click to view it. To delete the access code, click Delete in the Operation column. Deleted access codes cannot be recovered. Exercise caution when performing this operation.

   4. Set parameters according to the following figure.
      • Password: access code generated in 2
      • User: aom_access_code
      • URL: {URI-scheme}://{Endpoint}/v1/{project_id}
        • URI-scheme: protocol used to transmit requests. Currently, all APIs use HTTPS.
        • Endpoint: domain name or IP address of the server bearing the REST service. The endpoint varies according to services in different regions.
        • project_id: project ID, which can be viewed in the project list on the My Credentials page.
      NOTE:

      • The Basic auth and Skip TLS Verify options under Auth must be enabled.
      • Access codes correspond to project IDs. Confirm their mapping when entering information.

   5. Click Save&Test to check whether the configuration is successful.

      If the configuration is successful, you can use Grafana to configure dashboards and view metric data.
