In Application Real-Time Monitoring Service (ARMS), Managed Service for Grafana includes the CloudMonitor data source plugin by default. This plugin lets you synchronize and display CloudMonitor data on Grafana dashboards in real time, without needing to manually migrate data. This topic shows you how to use the CloudMonitor data source plugin to create a dashboard panel.

Limitations

The CloudMonitor data source plugin can only be used to display CloudMonitor data in Grafana dashboards. You cannot use it to configure alert rules and must also create custom dashboards for your cloud products. Therefore, we recommend that you use Alibaba Cloud Managed Service for Prometheus to access cloud product monitoring data. Alibaba Cloud Managed Service for Prometheus provides multiple out-of-the-box dashboards and alert rules. For more information, see Cloud Service Observability.

Step 1: Log on to Grafana

  1. Log on to the ARMS console. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Managed Service for Grafana > Workspace Management.

  2. On the Workspace Management page, find the workspace that you want to manage and click the URL in the URL column to go to Grafana.

    Note

    You can log on to Grafana with the administrator account of Grafana and the password that you configured when you created the workspace. You can also click Sign in with Alibaba Cloud to log on to Grafana with the current Alibaba Cloud account.

Step 2: Add the CMS Grafana Service data source
