How to Connect Grafana

5 min read Integrations

If you already use Grafana, Nova integrates seamlessly. You can use Nova as a Grafana data source to query Nova metrics from your existing dashboards, or import your Grafana dashboards into Nova.

Steps

Option A: Add Nova as a Grafana data source

In Grafana, go to Configuration > Data Sources > Add data source. Select Prometheus and enter the Nova metrics endpoint:

URL: https://metrics.novaaiops.com/api/v1/prometheus Headers: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_NOVA_API_KEY

Query Nova metrics in Grafana

Nova exposes metrics in Prometheus format, so you can use standard PromQL queries in your Grafana panels:

rate(nova_http_requests_total{service="api"}[5m])

Option B: Import Grafana dashboards into Nova

In Nova, go to Settings > Integrations > Grafana. Enter your Grafana URL and API key. Click Import Dashboards to bring your existing panels into Dashboard Studio.

Map data sources

During import, Nova maps Grafana data sources to equivalent Nova sources. Review and adjust the mappings if needed.

Tip:

You can run both Grafana and Nova side by side during migration. Nova syncs changes bidirectionally, so updates in either tool are reflected in both.

Set up Grafana alerts in Nova

If you have existing Grafana alerts, Nova can import those too. Go to the Alerts import wizard and select From Grafana to migrate your alert rules.
