Monitoring & Observability with Grafana

IMan provides realtime API monitoring through the best-in-class Grafana.

Follow the Monitoring Installation & Setup guide before you can use Grafana/monitor your API Endpoints.

IMan currently provides two metrics for each endpoint.

1. Request Time in Milliseconds
2. Requests per minute (which includes errors per minute)

Logging In

By default Grafana will be hosted on port 3000. Open a web browser and enter (assuming default http://localhost:3000/) into the address.

The default credentials are, but you will have changed the default password during installation.

Default User: admin

Default Password: admin

Monitoring

The standard dashboard is composed of:

1. The top section which consists of the response times in millisecond by endpoint.
2. The bottom graph shows the number of requests per minute in a single graph.
3. The top right drop down (in the screenshot showing ('Last 2 minutes') allows you to change the time span of the graphs.

Endpoints

The desired endpoints to monitor can be selected from the Endpoint drop down.
