How to Connect Grafana

5 min read Integrations

If you already use Grafana, Nova integrates seamlessly. You can use Nova as a Grafana data source to query Nova metrics from your existing dashboards, or import your Grafana dashboards into Nova.

Steps

1

Option A: Add Nova as a Grafana data source

In Grafana, go to Configuration > Data Sources > Add data source. Select Prometheus: and enter the Nova metrics endpoint:

URL: https://metrics.novaaiops.com/api/v1/prometheus Headers: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_NOVA_API_KEY
2

Query Nova metrics in Grafana

Nova exposes metrics in Prometheus format, so you can use standard PromQL queries in your Grafana panels:

rate(nova_http_requests_total{service="api"}[5m])
3

Option B: Import Grafana dashboards into Nova

In Nova, go to Settings > Integrations > Grafana. Enter your Grafana URL and API key. Click Import Dashboards: to bring your existing panels into Dashboard Studio.

4

Map data sources

During import, Nova maps Grafana data sources to equivalent Nova sources. Review and adjust the mappings if needed.

Tip:

You can run both Grafana and Nova side by side during migration. Nova syncs changes bidirectionally, so updates in either tool are reflected in both.

5

Set up Grafana alerts in Nova

If you have existing Grafana alerts, Nova can import those too. Go to the Alerts import wizard and select From Grafana: to migrate your alert rules.
