Setup

In this workshop we will explorer grafan.
The first step is to setup a grafana instance and create a dashboard with some data.
Let’s start very simple:

• The first step is to create an account
  • we will use the free account at https://www.grafana.com
  • Create an account using google account
• Install/Connect data source - google sheet
• Follow the isntuction here: https://github.com/grafana/google-sheets-datasource/blob/main/src/docs/configuration.md
• Click this link and it will walk through a google project creation and enable API: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets.readonly

Apparently, we neeed to have a good project setup in GCP to use in in grafan. Let’s set that up:
