**Grafana** is an open-source platform application for data visualization, monitoring and analysis. Grafana is used to visualize data sent by a device's data store. It is primarily used in conjunction with InfluxDB.

You can analyze, create and monitor KPIs using the Grafana dashboard. Access to the Grafana dashboard is defined using Keycloak authorization.

See [Github](https://github.com/Vertamedia/clickhouse-grafana) for more information about example queries and panel information.

**Important**: To visualize data in Grafana, you must select the **RAW data** option for the *Edge Device Data Storage* setting (**BHDM User UI** > **Company **> **Project **> **Settings **> **Edge Device Data Storage**).
