# Grafana

In this example you'll learn how to add Grafana to a umh-core Docker Compose stack. If you're not sure about umh-core and Docker Compose stacks, start with [Setup](/production/deployment/docker-compose/setup.md).

[Grafana](https://grafana.com/) is an open-source visualization platform. It allows you to build dashboards showing real-time and historical data based on your umh-core configuration.

Grafana's admin account defaults to `admin` / `admin`. Port 3000 is published to the host, so set both values before you start the stack. The variable names follow Grafana's `GF_<SECTION>_<KEY>` convention, documented in the [Grafana configuration reference](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/setup-grafana/configure-grafana/).

## Complete docker-compose.yaml

umh-core with Grafana. Copy this into `docker-compose.yaml` and fill in the fields marked `TODO`.

```yaml
services:
  umh:
    # TODO: set your desired container version here 
    # e.g. `umh-core:v0.44.31`
    image: management.umh.app/oci/united-manufacturing-hub/umh-core:ENTER_VERSION_HERE
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - umh-data:/data
    environment:
      # TODO: Enter your instance's Auth Token. 
      # You'll find it in your instance's configuration
      # file on management.umh.app.
      - AUTH_TOKEN=your_auth_token
      # TODO: Change the LOCATION_0 parameter
      # to your desired Level 0 Location name
      - LOCATION_0=your_level_0_location
      # Optional: Define more levels
      # - LOCATION_1=your_level_1
      # - LOCATION_2=your_level_2
      # - LOCATION_3=your_level_3
      # - LOCATION_4=your_level_4
      - RELEASE_CHANNEL=stable
      - API_URL=https://management.umh.app/api

  grafana:
    image: management.umh.app/oci/grafana/grafana:12.3.0
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 3000:3000
    environment:
      # TODO: Set your desired username and password here
      # You'll need these credentials to
      # access your local Grafana instance
      - GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_USER=admin     
      - GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin
    volumes:
      - grafana-data:/var/lib/grafana
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD-SHELL", "curl --fail http://grafana:3000/api/health"]
      interval: 10s
      timeout: 5s
      retries: 3

volumes:
  umh-data: {}
  grafana-data: {}
```

To start the stack, see [Starting the Stack](/production/deployment/docker-compose/setup.md#starting-the-stack).

## Already running umh-core?

Add the following to the `docker-compose.yaml` you already have. Your existing `umh:` service stays as it is.

**1. One new service inside `services:`**

```yaml
  grafana:
    image: management.umh.app/oci/grafana/grafana:12.3.0
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 3000:3000
    environment:
      # TODO: Set your desired username and password here
      # You'll need these credentials to
      # access your local Grafana instance
      - GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_USER=admin     
      - GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin
    volumes:
      - grafana-data:/var/lib/grafana
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD-SHELL", "curl --fail http://grafana:3000/api/health"]
      interval: 10s
      timeout: 5s
      retries: 3
```

**2. One more entry under `volumes:`**

```yaml
  grafana-data: {}
```

**3. Apply the changes**

```bash
docker compose up -d
```

See [Starting the Stack](/production/deployment/docker-compose/setup.md#starting-the-stack) for the other compose commands.

## Connecting to Grafana

Once the stack is running, Grafana is reachable at `http://localhost:3000`.

To log into Grafana, use the credentials that you defined in `docker-compose.yaml`.

> 💡 Without a persistent database behind it there is nothing to query, so most deployments run Grafana together with TimescaleDB. We call it the [**Recommended UMH Stack**](/production/deployment/docker-compose/additional-services/recommended-umh-stack.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.umh.app/production/deployment/docker-compose/additional-services/grafana.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
