Recently, I used Grafana on other monitoring systems. The operations dashboard required displaying several pages representing the overall operation status, so I used Grafana’s playlist feature, which supports automatic rotation of multiple dashboards. Considering TiDB’s Grafana, there are many metrics that need to be viewed one by one. I suggest selecting some metrics from several overview dashboards and directly using panels to display them. This way, you can understand the basic operation of the cluster, which meets the requirements for the display screen.

It should be version 6.1, the overview page of the dashboard displays duration, QPS, CPU, memory, and IO information.

In fact, every version is supported, it’s just not configured. A playlist is a very simple configuration; it consists of multiple dashboards that switch in a round-robin manner at set intervals, as shown in the image. You can actually take some core metrics from the TiDB server, PD, TiKV, TiFlash, and OS, and put them into the playlist to quickly create a monitoring dashboard.
