Grafana app

Embed a live Grafana dashboard on your display — metrics, graphs, and tables that update automatically.

Creating a Grafana app

1. Go to Content > New > App and search for the Grafana app.
2. Click the app to start creating a new app.
3. Enter an app name.
4. Paste the Dashboard URL — the full URL of the Grafana dashboard you want to show.
5. Enter the Grafana username and password — a dedicated signage account is safer than a personal one.
6. Pick a Refresh interval and an optional time range (e.g. now-1d to now).
7. Click Create app.

Use a read-only user

Create a separate Grafana user with view-only access to just the dashboard you want to show. This way the signage credentials can't modify anything, and if a display is compromised the blast radius stays small.

Self-hosted Grafana?

The Grafana instance must be reachable from the internet for the player to load it. If your Grafana is internal, either expose the dashboard with a reverse proxy + auth, or use a kiosk URL token instead of username/password.
