To view visualized metrics in Grafana dashboards, connect Grafana to Monitoring and query the data by using PromQL.
This method only works for metrics provided by Nebius AI Cloud. To visualize your own metrics in Grafana, see Connect Grafana to view your own metrics.

​
Prerequisites

  1. Install and configure Nebius AI Cloud CLI.
  2. If you don’t have a service account for observability services, create one.
  3. Make sure that the service account is in a group that has at least the viewer role within your tenant; for example, the default viewers group. You can check this in the Administration → IAM section of the web console. If the service account is not in the required group, click https://mintcdn.com/nebius-ai-cloud/1Ha0sWR6e1mnIaHS/_assets/button-vellipsis.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=1Ha0sWR6e1mnIaHS&q=85&s=e80b8e57c43bfd117679262e6a1334ad → Add to group, and select viewers.
  4. Issue a static key for the service account using the following command: 
    nebius iam static-key issue \
  --name <name_for_the_key> \
  --account-service-account-id <service_account_ID> \
  --service=OBSERVABILITY
    Copy the value of the static key from the token parameter of the response. You will need it on later steps.

How to connect Grafana data source

Use one of these ways:
Install the Grafana solution by Nebius, an application for Managed Service for Kubernetes®. The application is configured to receive metrics.

​
How to explore and manage metrics

Explore the metrics: construct PromQL queries by using Builder or create dashboards to visualize metrics. For example, if you are looking to optimize costs, find virtual machines with consistently underutilized CPUs. Enter the following query: 
{"system.cpu.load_average.15m", instance_id=~"computeinstance-.*"}
