Get access to dashboards

This page helps you access dashboards for system monitoring and data observability. Dashboards let you query, visualize, and receive alerts on your metrics, logs, and traces.

View operational logs and metrics for Platform Admins (PA)

To sign in, query, and visualize logs and metrics on the UI of the system monitoring instance for data observability, ask your Organization IAM Admin to grant you the Organization Grafana Viewer (organization-grafana-viewer) role in the platform-obs project. The Organization IAM Admin can assign and remove the Organization Grafana Viewer role. This role-based access control process lets you access data visualizations safely on dashboards of the system monitoring instance of your project. For more information about role assignments, see Predefined role descriptions.

The Organization IAM Admin can grant you access by creating a role binding:

kubectl --kubeconfig ADMIN_KUBECONFIG create rolebinding pa-grafana-viewer-binding -n platform-obs --user=USER_NAME --clusterrole=organization-grafana-viewer

Replace the following:

  • ADMIN_KUBECONFIG: The path of the kubeconfig file for the admin cluster.
  • USER_NAME: The account name of the user that requires the role binding.

For information about setting role bindings from the GDC console, see Grant access to resources.

View project logs and metrics for Application Operators (AO)

To sign in, query, and visualize logs and metrics on the UI of the system monitoring instance for data observability, ask your Project IAM Admin to grant you the Project Grafana Viewer (project-grafana-viewer) role in your project namespace. The Project IAM Admin can assign and remove the Project Grafana Viewer in the scope of a specified project. This role-based access control process lets you access data visualizations safely on dashboards of the system monitoring instance of your project.

The Project IAM Admin can grant you access by creating a role binding:

kubectl --kubeconfig ADMIN_KUBECONFIG create rolebinding project-grafana-viewer-binding -n PROJECT_NAMESPACE --user=USER_NAME --role=project-grafana-viewer

Replace the following:

  • ADMIN_KUBECONFIG: The path of the kubeconfig file for the admin cluster.
  • PROJECT_NAMESPACE: The namespace of your project.
  • USER_NAME: The account name of the user that requires the role binding.
