The Monitoring Role is made up of the tools Prometheus and Grafana. Grafana provides dashboards, and some manual repository setting needed a
Carbonio is a bootstrapped carbonio.
The bootstrap command will perform a variety of operations and configure the node. At the end, you will be presented with a menu, and if you have previously configured everything, all you need to do is click y for confirmation.
You must give these values during the procedure, which you may obtain from the initial Mesh and Directory node.
- The FQDN of the first Mesh and Directory node is the Ldap master host (example: ldap-mstr.example.com).
- The first Mesh and Directory node provides the Ldap Admin password (ldap-admin-password).
Join the Carbonio Mesh.
Carbonio Mesh will run as an agent, connecting to and communicating with the server. The agent’s configuration is produced by launching command.
This command will do the following:
- request the current Node’s IP address and netmask
- Request the Carbonio Mesh secret, which is saved on the Directory Leader node in the file /var/lib/service-discover/password.
- After the setup has been finished successfully, use the secret to run the following command.
To finish the installation, restart the prometheus service by typing:
Grafana Setup and Configuration
As previously stated, Grafana requires some user intervention before and after installation to install the required plugins, establish data sources, and import them from Carbonio.
Installation of Grafana
Before installing Grafana, get the Grafana GPG key, add it to the list of trusted keys in your APT installation, and add the Grafana repository to your APT sources.
Setup Grafana
Start the Grafana service and check its status. If everything is working well, you may allow the service to launch Grafana on boot.
Sign in to Grafana.
The Grafana portal may be accessed via port 3000 on the node where you installed the Monitoring Role, which we presume is http://srvmon.example.com:3000/.
Installation of Grafana Plugins
- The Worldmap panel
- Panel with a treemap
Grafana datasource configuration
- Log in to Grafana with your username and password.

- To ensure that the Prometheus connection was properly configured, click the “Save & Test” option. Save the data source if the connection is successful.
Carbonio dashboards may be imported.
