|
### Grafana setup:
|
|
|
|
Create [Prometheus datasource](http://docs.grafana.org/features/datasources/prometheus/) in Grafana with the following url:
|
|
|
|
```url
|
|
http://<victoriametrics-addr>:8428
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Substitute `<victoriametrics-addr>` with the hostname or IP address of VictoriaMetrics.
|
|
|
|
Then build graphs and dashboards for the created datasource using [PromQL](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/basics/) or [MetricsQL](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/MetricsQL.html).
