Requirements

Grafana is very easy to install. It is a client side web app with no backend. Any webserver will do. Optionally you will need ElasticSearch if you want to be able to save and load dashboards quickly instead of json files or local storage.

Installation

Download and extract the latest release.
Edit config.js, then change graphiteUrl and elasticsearch to point to the correct urls. The urls entered here must be reachable by your browser.
Point your browser to the installation.

To run from master:

Clone this repository
Start a web server in src folder
Or create a optimized & minified build:
npm install (requires nodejs)
grunt build

When you have Grafana up an running, read the Getting started guide for an introduction on how to use Grafana.

Graphite server config

If you haven't used an alternative dashboard for graphite before you need to enable cross-domain origin request. For Apache 2.x:

Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET, OPTIONS"
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Headers "origin, authorization, accept"

If your Graphite web is proteced by basic authentication, you have to enable the HTTP verb OPTIONS, origin (no wildcards are allowed in this case) and add Access-Control-Allow-Credentials. This looks like the following for Apache:

Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "http://mygrafana.com:5656"
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Credentials true

<Location />
    AuthName "graphs restricted"
    AuthType Basic
    AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/htpasswd
    <LimitExcept OPTIONS>
      require valid-user
    </LimitExcept>
</Location>

Roadmap

Improve and refine the target parser and editing
Improve graphite import feature
Refine and simplify common tasks
More panel types (not just graphs)
Use elasticsearch to search for metrics
Improve template support
Annotate graph by querying ElasticSearch for events (or other event sources)
Add support for other time series databases like InfluxDB
