@weak beacon Harvest writes that data to influxDB. It is push model with influx vs pull model with prometheus. That URL points to a influxdb bucket where metrics needs to be stored.

#

Grafana will then read this data from influx.

So the URL parameter is "URL to write to". Is there then an Influx DB instance here, somewhere on my Harvest host? Or could I create one ... I wonder if it would be feasible to somehow tell "super-secure" Grafana to pull from that ...

you need to have influxdb installed somewhere not necessarily on harvest host. You can add a datasource in grafana for influx. All relevant security parameters can be configured in grafana to connect with influx.

I think I see, but where (from which app) is your screenshot from? It seems to define how to access/fetch data, but the logo looks like influxdb, not grafana ...

#

(Sorry for the beginner questions :-))

Don't worry about questions. Screenshot I have shared is from Grafana. See if this page helps https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2.4/tools/grafana/

Thanks for the link, I'll take a look. I think I was mostly confused by the logo on that page. Seem as if the Grafana team should add a title "Adding a new datasource of type: InfluxDB" 😉

#

In any case, it's great that you guys are here to help - thanks again for the support!
