Default usage

To view the dashboard, pass the value(dashboard json file) to the -c parameter to the script. The Grafterm will query for all data accessible in the datasource by default, and the dashboard refresh frequency is set to 10 seconds.

./grafterm.sh -c critical_services_dashboard.json

Relative time

./grafterm.sh -c critical_services_dashboard.json -d 3h

Refresh interval

./grafterm.sh -c critical_services_dashboard.json -r 10s

./grafterm.sh -c critical_services_dashboard.json  -d 3h -r 10s

Fixed time

Set a fixed time range to visualize the metrics using duration notation. In the following example, the start time is now-23h and end time is now-18h.

./grafterm.sh -c critical_services_dashboard.json -s 23h -e 18h

Set a fixed time range to visualize the metrics using timestamp [ISO 8601] notation.

./grafterm.sh -c critical_services_dashboard.json -s 2021-10-30T11:25:10+05:00 -e 2021-10-30T11:55:10+05:00
