What would you like to accomplish in grafana with mysql?

#3

MySQL instance will only have data for 30 days, and I need to create a job that will the old data to an archive. On the other hand, I will need that old data as a backup should be ready to show on the Dashboard. So, I planning if it is possible to have 2 Grafana-server instances or two 2 dashboards.

  1. One will show the data for only 30 days.
  2. The other one will have the history for the last 6 months. (olddata)
#4

you don’t need two grafana servers or 2 dashboards unless you want to.
But you can show them both on 1 dashboard if you want also.

Where will the archive data be? on the same mysql server or another one?

#5

should be in another server, or in a NAS

#6

NAS? And you want grafana to use archive data? seems like something is missing here

#7

It is necessary that the archive data stay on the same Server?. For example, if the Archive stays on the same server, Can I point that Data to another HDD on the same server?

#8

i am not sure you can visualize archive data? what do you mean by archive? since you say it is archived to NAS, I am assuming it is not a mysql server?

#9

Should I have the old data backup in the .sql file? If I have on the extension Grafana would have the capacity to read the BD?

#10

i dont think grafana can work with some sort of back up data or file that I know of.

#11

Should I have the 2 BDs in the Same server but using different dashboards?

#12

that would be a good approach, one db live one db archives.
you can then use 1 dashboard for both or 2 dashboards for each up to you

#13

Thank You!, I will take this info into consideration.
