In this article, we assume that you already have a Grafana Cloud account. Eyer store all the visualisation data in a centralized InfluxDB, so to access your metrics you need to use your InfluxDB token you have received. If you do not have an Influx token you can request one on our Discord server.

First, to create a Grafana dashboard template for your data, please see

  1. Once you have a Grafana dashboard template, open your Grafana instance and navigate to “Connections → Add new connection”, then select “InfluxDB”.

  1. On the settings page, set the following

    1. “Query language” to “Flux”.

    2. “URL” to “https://westeurope-1.azure.cloud2.influxdata.com”

    3. In “Auth”, turn off basic auth

    4. Under the “InfluxDB Details”, set “Organisation” and “Token” to the values you received with your InfluxDB details.

  2. Hit “Save and test”. If the connection works, proceed to next step. If not, check all your settings again, or contact our support.

  3. In Grafana, select “Dashboards” on the left panel. Click “New” and select “Import”.

  1. On the next page, click on “Upload dashboard JSON file”. Select the dashboard template file you created in .

  2. You should now have a dashboard that contains your selected metrics that are monitored by Eyer, including the multiple baselines.
