Your Grafana

Your organization's own Grafana, and how to create, delete or restore it.

Your Grafana in the portal's menu is your organization's own Grafana. You have one, whatever your plan. Every environment you connect, such as a cluster, a machine or a website, sends to it. Production, staging and the rest are environments inside it, not Grafanas of their own. Everyone in your organization sees the page.

Create it

When we accept your request for access, we set up your Grafana with your organization. If your organization has none yet, an owner or admin presses Create your Grafana.

There is no name to type. Your Grafana is named after your organization: Acme GmbH's is acme-gmbh. The page shows its address before you confirm. If that name cannot be used, because Telopi keeps it for itself or a Grafana had it before, your Grafana gets the name with four extra characters, such as acme-gmbh-3f9a. Its ID, shown under the name, is c- followed by the name.

The name goes into your Grafana's address and into the address your systems send to, for good. A name is never given twice, not even back to you after you delete your Grafana. Your Grafana is ready within a few minutes.

Next, connect your systems.

Sign in to it

Open Grafana on the portal's Connect page opens your Grafana. You sign in with your Telopi account: there is no second password. What you may do there follows your role in your organization:

Delete and restore it

Delete… asks you to type your Grafana's name. Your Grafana then stops taking telemetry and closes at once.

For seven days an owner or admin can press Restore to have it back as it was, as long as your organization has not created another in the meantime. After seven days it is removed for good, with everything it stored.

Members and viewers see the page and ask an owner or admin. A Grafana that Telopi set up for you, whose ID does not start with c-, has no Delete…: open a support ticket to have it removed.
