Creating reports

To compose custom reports, your Turbonomic user account must have Report Editor permission. When you navigate from Turbonomic to the Grafana Reports page, in addition to browsing dashboards, you can create new dashboards. To create a custom report:

1. Create a dashboard.

   Navigate to the Grafana Dashboards page, then click the + icon in the menu bar to create a new dashboard.

2. Click to create a new panel.

   The page for the new panel includes a tabbed section with a Query tab.

3. In the Query tab, set the Data Source field to Turbo Timescale.

   This value sets up the panel to display data from the {{ site.data.vars.Product_Short }} Timescale database.

4. Edit the panel's query.

   The panel displays a default query. You can edit this query to change the data that the panel displays. At the end of the default query, click Edit SQL. This displays a field where you can specify the SQL that you want.

   For information about experimenting with different queries, see Exploring SQL Queries

   To help you build these queries, this document describes the schema tables, and provides some sample queries against them.
