Application Real-Time Monitoring Service (ARMS)'s Managed Service for Grafana includes the CloudMonitor data source plugin by default. By using this plugin, you can synchronize CloudMonitor data and display it in real time on a Grafana dashboard. You do not need to manually obtain or migrate data. This topic describes how to use the CloudMonitor data source plugin to synchronize CloudMonitor data and use the CloudMonitor data source to create a dashboard panel.

Limitations

The CloudMonitor data source plugin only supports displaying data; it does not support configuring alert rules, and requires you to manually customize dashboards for cloud services. Therefore, we recommend using Managed Service for Prometheus to ingest metrics from cloud services. Managed Service for Prometheus provides multiple out-of-the-box dashboards and alert rules. For more information, see Cloud service observability.

  1. Log on to the Managed Service for Grafana console. In the left-side navigation pane, click 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.
