# Configuring Grafana Dashboards
Monitor the health of your Anypoint Platform Private Cloud Edition (Anypoint Platform PCE) installation and its running applications with Grafana dashboards. These dashboards provide a visual representation of the data collected by the monitoring tools in your Anypoint Platform PCE installation.
The Grafana application uses a Kubernetes service of type `NodePort` to expose the service to the external network. To access Grafana, configure the load balancer to forward traffic to port `32380`.
Alternatively, use the `kubectl port-forward` command to access Grafana locally:
```
kubectl -n monitoring port-forward $(kubectl -n monitoring get svc --selector='app.kubernetes.io/name=grafana' -oname | head -n 1) 3000:80
```

## Access the Grafana Dashboard
To retrieve credentials for Grafana, use these commands:
```
kubectl -n monitoring get secrets grafana-creds -ojsonpath='{.data.admin-user}' | base64 --decode
kubectl -n monitoring get secrets grafana-creds -ojsonpath='{.data.admin-password}' | base64 --decode
```

## Create a Custom Dashboard
You can create custom dashboards in Grafana using its web interface. However, these dashboards are lost if the Grafana pod restarts. To create a custom dashboard that persists across restarts, create a ConfigMap with the label `grafana_dashboard=1`.
This example demonstrates how to create a ConfigMap with a custom dashboard:
  1. Create a file with the dashboard configuration, for example, `example-redis.yaml`:


```
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
 name: my-custom-dashboard
 namespace: monitoring
 labels:
  grafana_dashboard: "1"
data:
 example-redis.json: |

    ]
   }
  }
```

  2. Create the ConfigMap with the following command:


```
kubectl apply -f example-redis.yaml
```

To update the dashboard, modify the ConfigMap, and the dashboard updates automatically.
## Delete a Custom Dashboard
To delete a custom dashboard, delete the corresponding ConfigMap. The dashboard associated with the ConfigMap is removed automatically.
```
kubectl -n monitoring delete cm my-custom-dashboard
```

## List All Persistent Dashboards
To get a list of all ConfigMaps with the label `grafana_dashboard=1`, use this command:
```
kubectl get configmaps --selector='grafana_dashboard=1' -A
```
