Build a Grafana dashboard

A dashboard gives you an at-a-glance view of your data and lets you track metrics through different visualizations.

Dashboards consist of panels, each representing a part of the story you want your dashboard to tell.

Every panel consists of a query and a visualization. The query defines what data you want to display, whereas the visualization defines how the data is displayed.


  • In the sidebar, hover your cursor over the Create (plus sign) icon and then click Dashboard.

  • Click Add Visualization.

  • In the Query editor below the graph, enter the query from earlier and then press Shift + Enter:

    sum(rate(tns_request_duration_seconds_count[5m])) by(route)

  • In the Legend field, enter {{route}} to rename the time series in the legend. The graph legend updates when you click outside the field.

  • In the Panel editor on the right, under Settings, change the panel title to “Traffic”.

  • Click Apply in the top-right corner to save the panel and go back to the dashboard view.

  • Click the Save Dashboard (disk) icon at the top of the dashboard to save your dashboard.

  • Enter a name in the Dashboard name field and then click Save.
