Sample queries

The sample queries demonstrate the usage of Grafana to plot graphs for the statistical data published to Graphite.

Third-party monitoring applications such as Graphite store statistics using their own data store. Graph editors such as Grafana can be used to plot and edit graphs in real time by using applications such as Graphite as the data source. You must choose a graph editor that supports your data source. For more information, see the documentation on Graphite and Grafana websites.

A few sample Grafana panels that contain queries are exported to JSON format and made available with this feature. While you need to monitor your application statistics based on your needs, you can use these sample panels as a starting point. However, even to use these panels as is, you may need to tweak certain queries in the panels to suit your setup. The queries as is, might not show correct results for your setup.
