**Grafana** is an open-source platform application for data visualization, monitoring and analysis. Grafana is used to visualize data sent by a device's data store. It is primarily used in conjunction with InfluxDB.

You can analyze, create and monitor KPIs using the Grafana dashboard. Access to the Grafana dashboard is defined using Keycloak authorization.

See [Github](https://github.com/Vertamedia/clickhouse-grafana) for more information about example queries and panel information.

To receive the `Admin` role on Grafana Dashboards, see the *Toggle Administrator role for Grafana* *section* of [Edit a User Profile](docId\:KIJgyCJC1HGIm8mW7dVRK).

**Important**: To visualize data in Grafana, you must select the **RAW data** option for the *Edge Device Data Storage* setting (**Litmus Edge Manager User UI** > **Company **> **Project **> **Settings **> **Edge Device Data Storage**). See [Project Settings](docId\:hmGSXiivMvDy4K43OanRv) and [Visualize Child Device Data Using Grafana](docId\:cY2MwkiuvJ2nvNBZhaotC) to learn more.

# Default Grafana Dashboards

Litmus Edge Manager-Grafana integration offers three default dashboards for acquiring analytics and more information about Litmus Edge instance.

- **Events**: monitor the event activity of Litmus Edge tags. 
- **Gateway details**: Monitor the hardware/network status of a Litmus Edge and its tags. Things to consider: 
  - This dashboard updates the selector values only when it loads. This means that if the dashboard is already open, the list won’t refresh after renaming the friendly name of an edge device.
  - The list retrieves values from metrics obtained from edge device every 30 seconds (by default), so it's advisable to wait at least one minute after renaming before accessing the dashboard.
- **PLC Tag Browser**: See [Visualize Child Device Data Using Grafana](docId\:cY2MwkiuvJ2nvNBZhaotC).
