Grafana Plugin

You can now visualize your data using Coralogix’s Hosted Grafana without having to integrate a personal Grafana instance with your Coralogix account. Use Grafana to visualize your logs and metrics with all the functions you are already familiar with. You will be able to access all Coralogix data sources automatically without the need for any plugins (recommended).

For those wishing to use the Grafana plugin, this tutorial demonstrates how to connect and view your logs and metrics in your Coralogix dashboard using Grafana version 7+.

Connect Your Logs

STEP 1. Log in to Grafana.

STEP 2. Navigate to Home > Connections > Data sources

STEP 3. Click Add data source.

STEP 4. Select Elasticsearch as your data source.

STEP 5. Define the Settings.

• Name. Select a name for your data source.

Connect Your Metrics

As part of Coralogix’s metrics offering, we support the querying of metric data through the most prevalent time-series query language – PromQL. This allows you to use Coralogix as your metrics backend and add it as a Prometheus data source to your Grafana instance, as well as update existing dashboards, without any change to the queries or syntax.

Add a Coralogix PromQL Data Source

STEP 1. Log in to Grafana.

STEP 2. Navigate to Home > Connections > Data sources

STEP 3. Click Add data source.

STEP 4. Select Prometheus as your data source.

STEP 5. Define the Settings.

• Name. Select a name for your data source.
• URL. Input the PromQL endpoint associated with your Coralogix domain.

• Header. Input “token”.
• Value. Input your Coralogix Logs Query Key. Access this by navigating to Data Flow > API Keys in your Coralogix toolbar.
• Query timeout. Set to 300s.
• HTTP Method. Set to POST.

STEP 6. Click Save & test.

A popup message will inform you if you have configured your data source successfully.
