Grafana Dashboard Verification Report

Executive Summary

✅ All dashboard sections are now working correctly
✅ Datasource UID mismatches resolved
✅ Template variables configured with correct default values
✅ All key metrics displaying data

Issues Resolved

1. Datasource UID Mismatch

• Problem: Dashboard JSON files contained hardcoded UID cfbskvs8upds0b
• Actual UID: PBFA97CFB590B2093
• Solution: Updated all dashboard files with correct datasource UID
• Files Fixed:
  • infrastructure-overview.json
  • node-details.json
  • node-exporter-full.json
  • synology-nas-monitoring.json

2. Template Variable Default Values

• Problem: Template variables had incorrect default values (e.g., node_exporter, homelab-vm)
• Solution: Updated defaults to match actual job names and instances
• Updates Made:
  • Job: node_exporter → atlantis-node
  • Nodename: homelab → atlantis
  • Instance: homelab-vm → 100.83.230.112:9100

Technical Details

Prometheus Configuration

• Endpoint: http://prometheus:9090
• Datasource UID: PBFA97CFB590B2093
• Status: ✅ Healthy
• Targets: 15 total (13 up, 2 down)

GitOps Implementation

• Repository: /home/homelab/docker/monitoring
• Provisioning: Automated via Grafana provisioning
• Dashboards: Auto-loaded from /grafana/dashboards/
• Datasources: Auto-configured from /grafana/provisioning/datasources/

Verification Scripts

Two verification scripts have been created:

1. fix-datasource-uids.sh: Automated UID correction script
2. verify-dashboard-sections.sh: Comprehensive dashboard testing script

Recommendations

1. Monitor Down Targets: Investigate the 2 down targets:

   • raspberry-pis: 100.123.246.75:9100
   • vmi2076105-node: 100.99.156.20:9100

2. Regular Health Checks: Run verify-dashboard-sections.sh periodically to ensure continued functionality

3. Template Variable Optimization: Consider setting up more dynamic defaults based on available targets

Conclusion

✅ All dashboard sections are now fully functional
✅ Data is displaying correctly across all panels
✅ Template variables are working as expected
✅ GitOps implementation is successful

The Grafana monitoring setup is now complete and operational with all major dashboard sections verified and working correctly.
