I haven't been able to find how to take a Postgres instance on Google Cloud SQL (on GCP) and hook it up to a grafana dashboard to visualize the data that is in the DB. Is there an accepted easy way to do this? I'm a complete newbie to grafana and have limited experience with GCP(used cloud sql proxy to connect to a postgres instance)

CodePudding user response：

Grafana display the data. Google Cloud Monitoring store the data to display. So, you have to make a link between both.

And boom, magically, a plug-in exists!
