Query Editor • Simplifies the querying process with pre-built lists of variables • Choose Region (IAD, PHX, etc.), Compartment, Namespace (computeAgent, blockStore, etc), Resolution, Metric (CpuUtilization, etc.), Aggregation (mean(), min(), etc.) , and Window Copyright © 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |

Example Metrics Compute Agent: • CpuUtilization • DiskIopsWritten • DiskBytesRead • MemoryUtilization • DiskBytesWritten • NewtorksBytesIn • DiskIopsRead • NewtorksBytesOut Copyright © 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Example Metrics Metric Metric Display Name Unit Description CpuUtilization CPU Utilization percent Activity level from CPU. Expressed as a percentage of total time. DiskBytesRead Disk Read Bytes bytes Read throughput. Expressed as bytes read per interval. DiskBytesWritten Disk Write Bytes bytes Write throughput. Expressed as bytes written per interval. DiskIopsRead Disk Read I/O operations Activity level from I/O reads. Expressed as reads per interval. DiskIopsWritten Disk Write I/O operations Activity level from I/O writes. Expressed as writes per interval. MemoryUtilization Memory Utilization percent Space currently in use. Measured by pages. Expressed as a percentage of used pages. NetworksBytesIn Network Receive Bytes bytes Network receipt throughput. Expressed as bytes received. bytes Network transmission throughput. Expressed as bytes transmitted. NetworksBytesOut Network Transmit Bytes Copyright © 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Dimensions • Add specificity to graphs by means of dimensions • Dimensions provide an additional filter for queries • For example: choosing AvailabilityDomain as your tag value for a ComputeAgent query will provide you with the option to graph only compute resources from a particular availability domain (e.g. PHX-AD-1) Copyright © 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Example Dimensions Compute Agent: • FaultDomain • Shape • ResourceId • Region • ImageId • InstancePoolID • AvailabilityDomain • ResourceDisplayName Copyright © 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Example Dimensions • AVAILABILITYDOMAIN: The availability domain where the instance resides • FAULTDOMAIN: The fault domain where the instance resides • IMAGEID: The OCID of the image for the instance • INSTANCEPOOLID: The instance pool the instance belongs to • REGION: The region where the instance resides • RESOURCEDISPLAYNAME: The human-readable name of the instance • RESOURCEID: The OCID of the instance • SHAPE: The shape of the instance Copyright © 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Copyright © 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Templating • Dynamically interact with graphs using templating • Change graphs on the fly to visualize additional information • For example: switch the region being queried for all graphs on a given dashboard from PHX to IAD Copyright © 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |

Custom Metrics • Publish custom metrics data points to the Monitoring service using PostMetricData in the Monitoring API • Query those metrics from the Grafana UI as you would any other resource metrics Copyright © 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Key Takeaways • The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Data Source for Grafana provides access to monitoring data for Oracle Cloud resources • Grafana can be used as a centralized dashboard to view helpful data from Oracle and non-Oracle resources side by side Copyright © 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates.

Grafana is the leading open source platform for analytics and monitoring. Because of its popularity in the industry and the significant amount of demand it has generated amongst Oracle Cloud Infrastructure customers we have created a data source for the Oracle Cloud Monitoring service. The presentation will cover how to install, authenticate, and configure the Oracle Cloud Data Source for Grafana in a local environment and Kubernetes environment. It will also dive deeper into some of the features we enabled, including Query Editor, Dimensions, Templating, and Custom Metrics Namespaces.
