+# Grafana Configuration
+
+[Grafana](http://grafana.org/) is a tool that allows you to visualize time
+series metrics through graphs and dashboards. It supports several backend
+data stores, including InfluxDB. GitLab writes performance data to InfluxDB
+and Grafana will allow you to query InfluxDB to display useful graphs.
+
+For the easiest installation and configuration, install Grafana on the same
+server as InfluxDB. For larger installations, you may want to split out these
+services.
+
+## Installation
+
+Grafana supplies package repositories (Yum/Apt) for easy installation.
+See [Grafana installation documentation](http://docs.grafana.org/installation/)
+for detailed steps.
+
+> **Note**: Before starting Grafana for the first time, set the admin user
+and password in `/etc/grafana/grafana.ini`. Otherwise, the default password
+will be `admin`.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Login as the admin user. Expand the menu by clicking the Grafana logo in the
+top left corner. Choose 'Data Sources' from the menu. Then, click 'Add new'
+in the top bar.
+
+![Grafana empty data source page](img/grafana_data_source_empty.png)
+
+Fill in the configuration details for the InfluxDB data source. Save and
+Test Connection to ensure the configuration is correct.
+
+- **Name**: InfluxDB
+- **Default**: Checked
+- **Type**: InfluxDB 0.9.x (Even if you're using InfluxDB 0.10.x)
+- **Url**: https://localhost:8086 (Or the remote URL if you've installed InfluxDB
+on a separate server)
+- **Access**: proxy
+- **Database**: gitlab
+- **User**: admin (Or the username configured when setting up InfluxDB)
+- **Password**: The password configured when you set up InfluxDB
+
+![Grafana data source configurations](img/grafana_data_source_configuration.png)
+
+## Apply retention policies and create continuous queries
+
+If you intend to import the GitLab provided Grafana dashboards, you will need
+to copy and run a set of queries against InfluxDB to create the needed data
+sets.
+
+On the InfluxDB server, run the following command, substituting your InfluxDB
+user and password:
+
+```bash
+influxdb --username admin -password super_secret
+```
+
+This will drop you in to an InfluxDB interactive session. Copy the entire
+contents below and paste it in to the interactive session:
+
+```

+## Import Dashboards
+
+You can now import a set of default dashboards that will give you a good
+start on displaying useful information. GitLab has published a set of default
+[Grafana dashboards][grafana-dashboards] to get you started. Clone the
+repository or download a zip/tarball, then follow these steps to import each
+JSON file.
+
+Open the dashboard dropdown menu and click 'Import'
+
+![Grafana dashboard dropdown](/img/grafana_dashboard_dropdown.png)
+
+Click 'Choose file' and browse to the location where you downloaded or cloned
+the dashboard repository. Pick one of the JSON files to import.
+
+![Grafana dashboard import](/img/grafana_dashboard_import.png)
+
+Once the dashboard is imported, be sure to click save icon in the top bar. If
+you do not save the dashboard after importing it will be removed when you
+navigate away.
+
+![Grafana save icon](/img/grafana_save_icon.png)
+
+Repeat this process for each dashboard you wish to import.
