Grafana deployment

You can visualize resource monitoring data using the Grafana service.

This instruction will help you deploy the Grafana 10 service on a VM in VK Cloud, log in to the service console and create a new user.

By using the Grafana service, you agree to the license agreements of the services Marketplace and Grafana Labs.

   • Сеть: select the previously created network and subnet.

   Specify the other parameters at your discretion.
