Create an instance, pick Marketplace App at the template step, and choose it from the list. You pay for the instance.
What Grafana gives you
Grafana is the visualisation layer for operational data: it connects to Prometheus, SQL databases, log stores and dozens of other sources, and renders them as dashboards with shared time ranges, variables and drill-downs.
Alerting lives in the same place, so the panel that shows a problem is the panel that pages someone about it — and self-hosting keeps both the dashboards and the credentials inside your region.
Key features
- Many data sources. Prometheus, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Elasticsearch, Loki and more.
- Dashboards. Templated panels with variables, annotations and shared time ranges.
- Unified alerting. Rules, silences and notification routing in one place.
- Access control. Teams, folders and per-dashboard permissions.
- Provisioning. Dashboards and data sources as code for reproducible setups.
What is in the image
| Application | Latest stable Grafana release |
|---|---|
| Access | Web interface on the instance address; root over SSH |
| Data sources | Configured after deployment from the UI or provisioning files |
| Suggested size | From 2 vCPU / 4 GB RAM; scale with users and panels |
Good fit for
- Infrastructure monitoring One screen across hosts, clusters and services.
- Business metrics Operational and commercial numbers on the same dashboard.
- On-call Alerts that link straight to the panel showing the cause.
Getting started
Four steps from sign-in to a running application. The full walkthrough, with screenshots, is in the knowledge base.
-
01
Log in to the Cloud Portal
Sign in at portal.antyxsoft.io and start creating an instance, choosing the region closest to your users.
-
02
At Select Template, open Marketplace App
In the instance creation flow, switch from operating-system images to the Marketplace App tab.
-
03
Pick the template and deploy
Select the ready-to-go template, confirm the plan and region, then review and deploy. The instance boots with the application installed.
-
04
Finish the application setup
Open the web interface, change the default administrator password, add your first data source and import a dashboard.
Before it carries real traffic
- Attach a Cloud Firewall that opens only the ports this application needs, with management access limited to your own addresses.
- Schedule backups covering both the database and the application's data directory.
- Add a Block Storage volume for data that will outgrow the instance disk.
- Put it inside a VPC when it needs private access to other services.
