Export metrics to Grafana Cloud

The Baseten + Grafana Cloud integration enables you to get real-time inference metrics within your existing Grafana setup.

​

Video tutorial

See below for step-by-step details from the video.

​

Set up the integration

For a visual guide, please follow along with the video above.

Open your Grafana Cloud account:

1. Navigate to “Home > Connections > Add new connection”.
2. In the search bar, type Metrics Endpoint and select it.
3. Give your scrape job a name like baseten_metrics_scrape.
4. Set the scrape job URL to https://app.baseten.co/metrics.
5. Leave the scrape interval set to Every minute.
6. Select Bearer for authentication credentials.
7. In your Baseten account, generate a metrics-only workspace API key.
8. In Grafana, enter the Bearer Token as Api-Key abcd.1234567890 where the latter value is replaced by your API key.
9. Use the “Test Connection” button to ensure everything is entered correctly.
10. Click “Save Scrape Job.”
11. Click “Install.”
12. In your integrations list, select your new export and go through the “Enable” flow shown on video.

Now, you can navigate to your Dashboards tab, where you will see your data! Please note that it can take a couple of minutes for data to arrive and only new data will be scraped, not historical metrics.

​

Build a Grafana dashboard

Importing the data is a great first step, but you’ll need a dashboard to properly visualize the incoming information.

We’ve prepared a basic dashboard to get you started, which you can import by:

1. Downloading baseten_grafana_dashboard.json from this GitHub Gist.
2. Selecting “New > Import” from the dropdown in the top-right corner of the Dashboard page.
3. Dropping in the provided JSON file.

For visual reference in navigating the dashboard, please see the video above.
