			=== QuantaStor Performance Counters ===

			QuantaStor uses the InfluxData's InfluxDB as well as TICK Stack (Telegraf, InfluxDB, Chronograf,Kapacitor collectively called the TICK Stack.). Therefore, various InfluxDB Telegraf Input Plugins are enabled for gathering performance metrics within QuantaStor. The list below shows the plugins enabled, links to the fields they support, and a list of currently supported fields within the QuantaStor Web Management application.

			<pre>
			QuantaStor currently does not use Kapacitor. Any InfluxDB Telegraf input plugins not listed must be requested and certified through OSNEXUS.

Once you've added a InfluxDB Connection it will now ask you to create a dashboard. You might select the InfluxDB option, then choose create but you don't need to create any dashboards at this time and you can skip this and create a new dashboard later once you've selected some graphs you want to select.

	After connecting to your QuantaStor system at the above 8888 port number you should be presented with the web management interface for Chronograf. The default ''http://localhost:8086'' is the correct address for Chronograf to communicate with InfluxDB internal to the service. For the Connection Name we recommend calling it the name of your QuantaStor system or just ''QuantaStor''. Similarly the name of the InfluxDB database is ''quantastor'' and the username for the database is also ''quantastor''. The password to access InfluxDB is gathered by the above command and is a UUID you'll need to paste into the password field after you've gathered it from the ~~telegraph~~.conf file.
