Before you begin: Your container must already be deployed and exposing the required metrics.

Index provides a hosted Grafana instance so you can view the metrics your container emits. This topic covers how to request access, log in for the first time, and view your data.

Request access

Contact your Index Representative to request Grafana access for your account. Provide the email address of everyone at your organization who needs access. Only these addresses are granted access at sign-in.

Log in for the first time

To log in to Grafana for the first time:

  1. Go to rtd-grafana.indexexchange.com.

  2. Enter your Index account email at the Cloudflare validation prompt. This confirms your identity before you reach Grafana itself. You receive an email with a two-factor authentication code. Enter it to continue.

  3. On the Grafana sign-in page, click Sign in with Keycloak-OAuth at the bottom.

  4. Log in to the Index UIClosed The Index UI at app.indexexchange.com that allows you to manage integration settings, such as inventory, campaign, and deal settings. to authenticate.

Once you complete these steps, you have access to your data.

View your metrics

No dashboards are pre-created for you. To see your data:

  1. Open the Grafana menu in the top left.

  2. Go to Drilldown > Metrics > Let's Start.

Grafana pre-populates graphs of all the data your container is emitting. Once signed in, three areas give you full visibility into your service:

  • Dashboards: View existing dashboards and panels showing the metrics your service emits. For example, you can track your rollouts in the Index Managed folder in the Deployment Tracker dashboard. You can also create your own dashboards.

  • Explore: Browse the full list of available metrics and write and run your own queries.

  • Drilldown > Logs: View the logs collected from your service.

Logs are currently retained for a short window (7 days). This retention period will increase in the future.

Note: If your dashboard is empty or shows no data, confirm your container is exposing the required metrics correctly.
