Grafana dashboards for metric and log visualization

Airlock Microgateway offers several preconfigured Helm-based Grafana dashboard templates that can be enabled and individually disabled in the Microgateway Operator Helm chart.
Dashboard metric data is obtained using Prometheus metrics and logs are aggregated using Grafana Loki in combination with a suitable log agent (e.g. Grafana Promtail or similar).

The Operator Helm chart also includes options for dashboardLabel and folderAnnotation that can be configured to allow the Grafana sidecar to find and identify the ConfigMaps that contain the dashboards in this article. These settings must match the configuration of the Grafana sidecar.

You can find the Airlock Microgateway Helm charts here:

Requirements

All dashboards require Grafana to be installed and running with the sidecar.dashboards.enabled=true flag. This lets Grafana automatically add/update and delete Airlock Microgateway Dashboards.
Metric dashboards require Prometheus to be installed and running in addition to Grafana.
Log Dashboards require Grafana Loki to be installed and running in addition to Grafana
