Enable Grafana Dashboards

To make use of the integrated Grafana dashboards, you need to configure Grafana to integrate dashboard ConfigMaps.

For Grafana to find the dashboards, the following things are required:

  • Grafana must be able to load the dashboards from the ConfigMaps. This is usually done by a sidecar that is enabled by the grafana.ini file.

  • Grafana must have access to the ConfigMaps and Secrets in the Airlock Operator namespace.

Grafana Helm Values

  • Enable the sidecar to search for dashboards in the syn-airlock-microgateway namespace.

    sidecar:
  dashboards:
    enabled: true (1)
    searchNamespace:
      - syn-airlock-microgateway (2)
    1 Enable the sidecar to search for dashboards.
    2 The namespace where the Airlock Microgateway operator is installed.

  • Allow Grafana to access the ConfigMaps and Secrets in the syn-airlock-microgateway namespace.
