Quick Start

Connect to Prometheus

If Prometheus is already running locally:

grafatui --prometheus-url http://localhost:9090

Point Grafatui at another Prometheus server with the same option:

grafatui --prometheus-url http://prometheus.example.com:9090

Import a Grafana Dashboard

Export a Grafana dashboard as JSON, then pass it to Grafatui:

grafatui --prometheus-url http://localhost:9090 --grafana-json ./dashboard.json

Override dashboard variables with repeated --var options:

grafatui --grafana-json ./dash.json --var job=node --var instance=server-01

Run the Demo

The repository includes a Prometheus demo stack and sample dashboards:

git clone https://github.com/fedexist/grafatui.git
cd grafatui
cd examples/demo && docker-compose up -d && sleep 5 && cd ../..
cargo run -- --grafana-json examples/dashboards/prometheus_demo.json --prometheus-url http://localhost:19090

When finished:

cd examples/demo
docker-compose down -v
