Modify Predefined Dashboards

View for ClusterStor comes with a number of predefined dashboards that can be modified in Grafana. For more information about the predefined dashboards, see Predefined Dashboards.

To save modifications that are made to a predefined dashboard, the dashboard must be saved using a new name. Otherwise, updating or restarting View for ClusterStor will overwrite all modifications.

  1. Click the Grafana Dashboard Selector.
  2. Select the predefined dashboard that is to be modified.
  3. Select Grafana Settings (gear icon), and then select Save As from the drop down menu. Rename the dashboard.
    The screen will refresh and the dashboard is ready for any modifications.
  4. Make any desired changes to the new dashboard.
  5. Save the modified dashboard when the changes are complete.
The modified dashboard will now persist through updates and any restarts.
