Starter Kits

Statful Starter Kits are tools that act as accelerators to help Users set up their Statful environment based on our clients’ and collectors’ configurations. Starter Kits provide one or more predefined configurations, which the Users can choose from and quickly set up their monitoring environment without much manual effort.

Before you get started

Before you launch any of the Starter Kits, your account must be configured with (at least) one Access Token and, possibly, whitelist a Domain.

You can find more information about authentication settings here.



We suggest you go through the process of creating the Dashboards/Widgets first and set up the configurations on your project later, with the help of our documentation on GitHub.

A Dashboard organises, stores and communicates metrics visually in the form of Widgets.



At the moment, Statful provides Users with the below Starter Kits:

Each Starter Kit has predefined Dashboards and Widgets that are customisable. The goal is to help you establish a good monitoring base.

From there, it becomes easier to manipulate data. You can exploit your visualisation, referring to this section on our Dashboards menu, and manipulate data with the help of this reference on the Explorer menu.

How it works

With a collector or a client in mind, go ahead and select it from the available.

It is also possible to generate an Authorisation Token from the service’s Starter Kit. Click on the option GENERATE TOKEN (OPT).

The resulting Token can be found in Settings >> API Tokens under the name of the corresponding Starter Kit.

For example, generating a Token under the Kubernetes collector produces an entry kubernetes on the API Tokens’ table.

Let’s head back to the Overview. The next option for your selection is the Blank and Pre-configuration. Clicking on the later opens a window with the available options distributed over Dashboards and Widgets.

A Widgets list is presented for each Dashboard. We organised them over themes, according to what the service offers, and based on our customers’ experience. This way, some Starter Kits may include more Widgets than others.



Once you’re happy with your selection, assign it to a Dashboard group (works like an index for your Dashboards), by selecting an existing group from the dropdown, or type in a name to create a new one.

Then, SAVE your choices, or go back and choose a different Starter Kit.



When you are DONE, you can head out to the Dashboards menu, where your environment should be up and running, like the one below.
