You can build charts based on Prometheus metrics:
- Under Metrics, for a quick overview of resource state.
- Under Dashboards, for regular monitoring over certain indicators.
Tip
To transfer dashboards from existing Grafana installations, use the import script. It automates the workflow and prevents errors when transferring configurations manually.
