Connect to a Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring data source

Provides support for Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring (formerly SignalFx).

Note

This data source is for Grafana Enterprise only. For more information, see Manage access to Enterprise plugins.

Additionally, in workspaces that support version 9 or newer, this data source might require you to install the appropriate plugin. For more information, see Extend your workspace with plugins.

Adding the data source

1. Open the Grafana console in the Amazon Managed Grafana workspace and make sure you are logged in.

2. In the side menu under Configuration (the gear icon), choose Data Sources.

3. Choose Add data source.

   Note

   If you don't see the Data Sources link in your side menu, it means that your current user does not have the Admin role.

4. Select Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring from the list of data sources.

5. Enter the following information:

   • For Access Token, enter the token that is generated by your SignalFx account. For more information, see Authentication Tokens.

   • Realm A self-contained deployment that hosts your organization. You can find your realm name on your profile page when signed in to the SignalFx user interface.

Using the query editor

The query editor accepts a SignalFlow program/query.

For labels, a Signalflow label publish(label = 'foo') is applied as metadata to the results: "label":"foo"

For query type template variables, there is no Query field. Instead, you select one of the following query types:

• Dimensions

• Metrics

• Tags

Ad-hoc filters are supported, allowing global filters using dimensions.

Grafana annotations are supported. When you create annotations, use SignalFlow Alerts or Events queries.

Example of getting alerts for a detector:

alerts(detector_name='Deployment').publish();

Example of getting custom Events by type:

events(eventType='simulated').publish();
