InfluxData's Chronograf now includes improved onboarding that makes it easy to set up predefined dashboards for metrics, which can be accessed quickly and easily without having to think about data visualization. The author uses Telegraf to collect metrics from their MySQL database and sends them directly to InfluxDB, where they can be visualized in Chronograf's dashboard. With the new feature, users can leverage existing metrics with minimal effort, and predefined dashboards are now available for various services such as Kubernetes, Redis, Apache, and more, making it easier to monitor what matters most.
