Each user can use an individual Grafana instance and build a monitoring system by integrating it with the OpenTSDB app. Note For more information on Grafana, see [Grafana Labs](https://grafana.com/). ## Check Grafana app details Once the app is created, you can view its details. If the **Status** in the app details is **Stable**, the app is running normally. To view app details: 1. In the VPC environment on the NAVER Cloud Platform console, navigate to **Menu** > **All Services** > **Big Data & Analytics** > **Data Forest**. 2. Click **Data Forest > Apps** on the left. 3. Select the account that owns the app. 4. Click the app to view its details. 5. Review the app details. ![df-grafana_2-1_updated_ko](https://cdn.document360.io/6998976f-9d95-4df8-b847-d375892b92c2/Images/Documentation/df-grafana_2-1_updated_en.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-14T04%3A50%3A37Z&se=2026-11-14T05%3A50%3A37Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=5gUZjGH0OIIKwyBNFNbU29BiOsEagYdllNNLKK6f9yk%3D) - **Quick links** - **Grafana Server**: URL for accessing the Grafana server.

This section describes based on how to add the running OpenTSDB app as a Data Source. 1. Access the Grafana server. 2. Click **Configuration** > **Data Sources**. ![df-grafana_07_vpc_ko](https://cdn.document360.io/6998976f-9d95-4df8-b847-d375892b92c2/Images/Documentation/df-grafana_07_vpc.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-14T04%3A50%3A37Z&se=2026-11-14T05%3A50%3A37Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=5gUZjGH0OIIKwyBNFNbU29BiOsEagYdllNNLKK6f9yk%3D) 3.

After checking the settings information, click **[Save & Test]**. ![df-grafana_09_vpc_ko](https://cdn.document360.io/6998976f-9d95-4df8-b847-d375892b92c2/Images/Documentation/df-grafana_09_vpc.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-14T04%3A50%3A37Z&se=2026-11-14T05%3A50%3A37Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=5gUZjGH0OIIKwyBNFNbU29BiOsEagYdllNNLKK6f9yk%3D) - **HTTP / URL**: The URL created after the test-01 user has run the OpenTSDB app with the name opentsdb is `http://test-01.opentsdb.tsd.4242.proxy.kr.df.naverncp.com`. - **OpenTSDB settings / version**: 2.3 6. Check if it has been completed. - When **Data source is working** appears, it is successfully completed. ### Database backup Only when the database file changes does the database back up to HDFS every 10 seconds. If you create an app with the name "grafana-1," the database is backed up as follows. ``` # Latest backup file (backed up every 10 seconds only when DB file changes) hdfs://koya/user/test-01/grafana/grafana-1/grafana.db # Versioned backup file (BACKUP_VERSIONING_INTERVAL=3600, 1 hour) hdfs://koya/user/test-01/grafana/grafana-1/grafana.db.2021050320000 hdfs://koya/user/test-01/grafana/grafana-1/grafana.db.2021050330000 hdfs://koya/user/test-01/grafana/grafana-1/grafana.db.2021050340000 ``` Note - When you stop the app and restart it, the database is recovered from the latest backup file `hdfs://koya/user/test-01/grafana/grafana-1/grafana.db`. - To recover from a versioned backup file, stop the app, copy the versioned backup file as the latest backup file, and then restart the app.
