If you want to be able to access Grafana via the Desktop from Tools or via the  Web UI (http://<platform host>:<web interface port>/mz/), you have 2 options:

1. You can modify the property GRAFANA_URL in the si_setup_script before running the script, as described in step 6 in 2.1.1 Install System Insight with InfluxDB using Scripts.
   
   OR
   
   

2. At any time after installing System Insight, you can use the mzsh topo command as shown below:

   Code Block
   $ mzsh topo set services:custom/val:system-insight.si-instance.config.grafana-url http://<host name>:3000

   
   

Grafana via Desktop

To be able to access Grafana from the Desktop, the System insight service must be running and the property grafana-url mentioned above must be set when starting the Desktop.

In Desktop, go to Tools, and select System Insight. You are directed to the Grafana login page.

...

If you require extra security, the option to use Grafana over https is available. However, you require a certificate which is not provided. When you have your certificate in place, take the following steps:

1. Go to the directory MZ_HOME/scripts/str-templates/system-insight, and open the grafanai.ini file.
    

2. In the Server section, modify the text as follows and save:
    Change this line:
   

   Code Block
   ;protocol = http

   to the following: 

   Code Block
   protocol = https

   Change these lines:

   Code Block
   # https certs & key file ;cert_file = ;cert_key =

   to the following: 

   Code Block
   # https certs & key file cert_file = /path/to/file/server.crt cert_key = /parth/to/file/server.key

   
   

3. Restart the grafana service.
   Go to https://<your grafana installation url>:3000/ and verify that https is working.
