DataStax Astra

IN PROGRESS

Prerequisites

At first, you need to have an account at astra.datastax.com and a database instance.

1. SecureConnectBundle

Download SecureConnectBundle using the Connect page of your Astra instance, it's available to download on any Connect using a driver subpage. Unpack it and save the files in the folder accessible to Grafana. Notice the path, you will need them later.

2. Create a new API Token

Create a new application token at the https://astra.datastax.com/settings/tokens. We recommend using RO User role, in this case, Grafana will have solely read-only access. Store token details as you will need them later.

3. Create a new datasource in your Grafana, using the following details:

• Host: specify the host value of the config.json file from the SecureConnectBundle (see p.1). It will look like 1234567890qwerty-eu-central-1.db.astra.datastax.com
• User: CLIENT ID of the API Token
• Password: CLIENT SECRET of the API Token
• Certificate Path: /path/to/cert (use cert file from SecureConnectBundle)
• Root Certificate Path: /path/to/key (use key file from SecureConnectBundle)
• RootCA Certificate Path: /path/to/ca.crt (use ca.crt file from SecureConnectBundle)
