Monitoring
Grafana Dashboard - Commercial Prod DB
The Commercial Production Database is monitored via a self-hosted Grafana instance that provides real-time visibility into database performance, query metrics, and resource utilization.
Access
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| URL | https://grafana.cred.internal/ |
| Username | cred-grafana-admin |
| Password | Search "Grafana Commercial Prod DB" in 1Password |
VPN Required
The Grafana instance is only available on the internal network. You must be connected to the VPN before accessing it. See the VPN (Twingate) guide for setup instructions.
Self-Signed Certificate
Grafana uses a self-signed TLS certificate. Your browser may show a security warning when opening the URL; if you are on the VPN and visiting https://grafana.cred.internal/, you can proceed anyway.
What to Monitor
| Dashboard / Panel | Description |
|---|---|
| Database Connections | Active and idle connection counts |
| Query Performance | Slow queries, average response times |
| CPU & Memory | Resource utilization of the database instance |
| Disk I/O | Read/write throughput and latency |
| Replication Lag | Delay between primary and replicas (if applicable) |
| Elasticsearch Dashboard | Search cluster health, indexing activity, and query performance |
Troubleshooting
If you cannot access the Grafana dashboard:
- Verify VPN connection - Ensure you are connected via Twingate
- Check the URL - Confirm you are using
https://grafana.cred.internal/ - Proceed past browser warning if prompted - Grafana uses a self-signed certificate, so your browser may display a certificate warning
- Verify credentials - Retrieve the latest password from 1Password (search for Grafana Commercial Prod DB)
- Contact DevOps - If the instance appears down, reach out in the #devops Slack channel
