Validating Prometheus Configuration and Grafana JSON Support

zane.chen

I have setup prometheus receiver in metrics of config file, how to validate this config is effective?

Srikanth

You can go to dashboards panel and search for the metric name you would expect after successful scape.

zane.chen

please help confirm the config that weather it‘s ok

zane.chen

zane.chen

is it effective?

zane.chen

do you have common json file? can display metrics data like grafana

zane.chen

zane.chen

Srikanth

What metrics do you expect to be seen?

zane.chen

prometheus metrics，now I have added prometheus, but i need json template to display metrics data

Srikanth

I am not sure I know what _json template to display metrics data mean_

zane.chen

zane.chen

just like the grafana json file import panel

Srikanth

There is a import grafana json option in SigNoz dashboards

zane.chen

yes， do you have this grafana json file in signoz?

Srikanth

Yes, there is a feature to import grafana json

zane.chen

zane.chen

but i load my prepared grafana json file, appears above error

Srikanth

You need to make sure the imported dashboard doesn’t have an invalid expression.

zane.chen

my imported json file is standard grafana dashboard json file, no special expression

Srikanth

Can you open the panel in edit mode and share the query

zane.chen

zane.chen

Srikanth

The `$interval` is not supported

zane.chen

ok, do you give me a usable grafana json file, let me try?

Srikanth

I will share

zane.chen

thank you very much!

I create one simple grafana dashboard from prometheus data, then import the json file in signoz, but unfortunately, it cannot expect to display, so i suppose maybe not strong support to grafana dashboard function in signoz

zane.chen

the above is simple grafana dashbard json file

Srikanth

Right, no strong support but something that most helps. What does the above show in dashboards UI?

zane.chen

zane.chen

empty panel

zane.chen

Srikanth

The grafana JSON is very different b/w version to version so there is a chance the current logic doesn’t detect this version.

zane.chen

this is show in grafana ui

zane.chen

do you mean signoz cannot support my grafana version?

Srikanth

The Grafana JSON has a version associated with it which we may not support yet

zane.chen

could you tell me the gafana version you have supported?

Srikanth

There is no definitive list. There is some heuristic code which we tested on some major versions.

zane.chen

got it, do you give me a usable grafana json file, let me try?

Srikanth

Sure, I will get back to you on this.

zane.chen

expect for your replay :blush:

zane.chen

I have another question about logs

zane.chen

maybe signoz cannot support application inside logs?

zane.chen

I can only find some http request record in signoz, just like below

zane.chen

zane.chen

2、and can go-zero framework be supported by signoz? my go application used go-zero framework not gin
