Add more graphs to the base dashboard in Chronograf

I would like to know how to add more graphs to the initial dashboard for hosts in Chronograf? I have defined some custom data from 'input.exec' and I would like to be shown when entering the host main dasboard. Is that possible?

Thanks!

Solution

  • It sounds like you're wanting to create new layouts, or "precanned dashboards", for Chronograf.

    You can use the new_apps.sh script in the canned directory to generate the necessary corresponding .json file(s) within the /canned directory.

    Once these are created, Chronograf should include those new layouts as precanned dashboards.

    The full documentation for how to do this can be found at: https://github.com/influxdata/chronograf/blob/master/docs/LAYOUT.md.
