Overview

Service Architect generates an operational Grafana workspace from the service graph. The dashboards connect graph-level concepts such as streams, links, connectors, endpoints, task pools, and join storage to the metrics emitted by the generated runtime.

When to use

Start here to understand what the generated dashboards cover and how they relate to the designer graph.

Behavior

Dashboards are generated per service, organized into service folders, and provisioned consistently for Docker Compose and Kubernetes.

Product model

Dashboards are product templates, not documentation for the bundled examples. Names such as the Grafana folder and dashboard title come from the service name entered in the designer.

Transport and runtime templates are selected from the target language and its implementation adapter so that panel queries match the metrics the generated application actually exposes.
