Hello everyone,

I'm relatively new to using Grafana, and after reading this post (Cognite Hub) on Cognite Hub, I've come to understand that Alerts in Grafana may not be compatible with the CDF connector. Please feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken.

Considering this, I'm wondering if anyone has a good setup for monitoring the data coming from the CDF connector. I have around 900 time series, and listing all of them is not very efficient. Additionally, I'm having trouble figuring out how to write an SQL query to count the time series that have a timestamp older than, let's say, 3 hours. this could be a way, to count data not coming in. 

Would anyone be willing to share their setup or offer any tips?

Thank you in advanced :)

Hi @Kjersti ,

As you said, monitoring is not available through the CDF Grafana plugin,
However there might be workarounds through SQL connection.
Another possible way of doing this, is to use the built-in monitoring feature in the charts component in Fusion. (this however won’t display in Grafana)

Out of curiosity, what do you use to establish SQL connection to CDF?

As a follow-up, if we had the option to choose what monitoring and alerting solution to build/implement, does Cognite have a recommended approach? Would it be to start with the Cognite Charts alerting functionality, or to use AIR, or to be to build one for example using the Cognite SDK, Cognite functions or in other 3rd party software e.g. Grafana?

Hi. Thank you for responding. 

we dont have an sql connection to cdf as we are using the cdf connector. 
I will look into the built in monitoring feature in charts :)

@patricknitschke AIR is deprecated, I’d suggest to test out Monitoring in Charts first before going with custom solutions.
