TDinsight is a solution for monitoring TDengine using the builtin native monitoring database and [Grafana].
After TDengine starts, it will automatically create a monitoring database `log`. TDengine will automatically write many metrics in specific intervals into the `log` database. The metrics may include the server's CPU, memory, hard disk space, network bandwidth, number of requests, disk read/write speed, slow queries, other information like important system operations (user login, database creation, database deletion, etc.), and error alarms. With [Grafana] and [TDengine Data Source Plugin](https://github.com/taosdata/grafanaplugin/releases), TDinsight can visualize cluster status, node information, insertion and query requests, resource usage, etc., and also vnode, dnode, and mnode status, and exception alerts. Developers monitoring TDengine cluster operation status in real-time can be very convinient. This article will guide users to install the Grafana server, automatically install the TDengine data source plug-in, and deploy the TDinsight visualization panel through`TDinsight.sh` installation script.

## System Requirements
To deploy TDinsight, a single-node TDengine server or a multi-nodes TDengine cluster and a [Grafana] server are required. This dashboard requires TDengine 2.3.3.0 and above, with the `log` database enabled (`monitor = 1`).
