Overview

This page reviews how to configure Status Grafana graphs and how to  control the legend visibility.

Steps

Configuring Status Grafana graphs

1. Legends and GroundWork event annotations in the Grafana graphs that are embedded in Status can be controlled using these properties in /usr/local/groundwork/config/status-viewer.properties.
   • perf.monitoring.client.rendering.legends
   • perf.monitoring.client.rendering.annotations
2. A restart of GroundWork is required after making any changes:

   /etc/init.d/groundwork restart

3. By default, both legend and annotations are enabled. For example:
   
   Figure: Legends and Annotations
   

Controlling Legend Visibility

To control whether the legend is visible set the following to true or false.

1. Edit the following file:

   /usr/local/groundwork/config/status-viewer.properties

2. Set the following to true or false:

   perf.monitoring.client.rendering.legends

3. With perf.monitoring.client.rendering.legends = false, the legends is turned off and the graph looks like this:
   
   Figure: Legends turned off
   

Controlling Annotations Visibility

To control whether annotations are visible set the following to true or false.

1. Edit the following file:

   /usr/local/groundwork/config/status-viewer.properties

2. Set the following to true or false:

   perf.monitoring.client.rendering.annotations

3. With perf.monitoring.client.rendering.annotations = false the annotations are turned off and the graph looks like this:
   
   Figure: Annotation turned off
   

For more advanced users

The embedded Grafana graphs are dynamically created using scripted dashboards. You can modify the code in /usr/local/groundwork/grafana/public/dashboards/gwdashgen.js to adjust the appearance of the generated graphs. Any changes made are immediately effective.
