Built-in Grafana dashboards

The default Gluesync installation kit already includes Prometheus and Grafana, with the dashboard in place. For this kit, you do not install or configure a second Prometheus or Grafana.

In the Control Plane, Metrics and insights (gauge icon, left menu) is that included Grafana. The default Grafana login is admin / password.

On Windows, Gluesync itself is under C:\Program Files\Gluesync. A path such as C:\Program Files\GrafanaLabs is a separate Grafana Labs installation, not the Gluesync kit.

The steps under Import the official dashboard into your own Grafana are optional. Use them when you run your own Grafana and want the MOLO17 dashboard in it. That Grafana needs a Prometheus that scrapes Core Hub, as described in Prometheus integration.

Dashboard overview

Gluesync’s built-in Grafana dashboard provides comprehensive monitoring of your data pipelines through multiple visualization panels. All metrics are collected via Prometheus and visualized in real-time:

Performance metrics

  • Read/Write Time Graphs: Detailed millisecond-level latency tracking for read and write operations

  • End-to-end Time: Visual representation of complete pipeline processing duration

  • Storage Time: Monitoring of data storage operations and their timing

Pipeline status indicators

  • Individual Pipeline Metrics: Circular gauges showing processing times for each pipeline

  • Pipeline Health Indicators: Color-coded status indicators (green for healthy, red for issues)

  • Latency Tracking: Real-time monitoring of processing delays and bottlenecks

Data transfer monitoring

  • Total Data Transferred: Graph showing cumulative data transfer volume over time

  • Row Count Tracking: Visual representation of the number of rows processed

  • Transfer Rate Analysis: Metrics showing data throughput and processing speed

Default panels

Time Series Graphs

  • Read time metrics (0-100ms scale)

  • Write time metrics (0-100ms scale)

  • End-to-end processing time

  • Storage time analysis

Pipeline performance indicators

  • Individual pipeline gauges showing:

    • Processing duration in milliseconds

    • Color-coded status indicators

    • Pipeline-specific identifiers

Data volume tracking

  • Cumulative data transfer graph (0-n GiB scale)

  • Row count transfer monitoring (0-n scale)

  • Historical trend analysis

Customization options

  • Time range selection

  • Pipeline filtering

  • Metric threshold adjustments

  • Panel layout modifications

The dashboard automatically refreshes by Grafana’s defaults, and default observability window is set to 5 minutes, but you can manually refresh or adjust the time range as needed.

Import the official dashboard into your own Grafana

The kit’s Grafana already includes the dashboard. The steps below are optional, for a Grafana you run yourself.

MOLO17 provides an official Grafana dashboard template through Grafana’s marketplace. This pre-configured dashboard includes all the essential visualizations and metrics for monitoring your Gluesync deployment.

Installing the official dashboard

  1. Visit the MOLO17 Grafana dashboards page

  2. Click on the Gluesync dashboard

  3. Copy the dashboard ID or use the "Copy ID to Clipboard" button

  4. In your Grafana instance:

    • Click the "+" icon in the side menu

    • Select "Import"

    • Paste the dashboard ID

    • Click "Load"

  5. Select your Prometheus data source

  6. Click "Import" to finish

The official dashboard is regularly updated with new features and improvements. Check the Grafana marketplace periodically for updates.
