Discover the capabilities and limitations of Public Cloud Databases for Dashboards
2025-02-19

Objective

This page provides the technical capabilities and limitations of the Public Cloud Databases for Dashboards offer.

We continuously improve our offers. You can follow and submit ideas to add to our roadmap at https://github.com/orgs/ovh/projects/16/views/5.

Capabilities and limitations

Supported regions and multi-AZ

The Public Cloud Databases offer is available in the following regions:

  • BHS (Beauharnois, Canada)
  • DE (Frankfurt, Germany)
  • GRA (Gravelines, France)
  • SBG (Strasbourg, France)
  • SGP (Singapore, Singapore)
  • UK (London, United Kingdom)
  • WAW (Warsaw, Poland)

Dashboards nodes have to be in the same region. Multi-AZ is currently not supported.

Dashboards versions

The Public Cloud Databases offer supports the following Dashboards versions:

  • Grafana® open source 10

Please refer to the DBMS lifecycle policy guide for recommendations on version upgrades and end of life announcements of major versions. Additionally, you can follow the Grafana® Release Cycle on their official page: https://grafana.com/.

Dashboards clients

You can use your browser to access your Dashboards service.

Plans

The only plan available is Essential.

Here is an overview of the Essential plan capabilities:

Plan Number of nodes by default Additional nodes
Essential 1 No

The Essential plan offers an automatic backup retention of 2 days. It supports public or private networks (vRack).

Nodes and replicas

  • Essential: the cluster is delivered with 1 node.

License type

Grafana® open source software is under the GNU Affero General Public License, a liberal open-source license. More information on https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grafana/grafana/main/LICENSE.

Hardware resources

For information on node types and pricing, please refer to the price page.

Node template upgrade

You can upgrade the node template of your cluster to scale your hardware resources up. This operation causes no interruption of service but be aware that you will not be able to downgrade the node template afterwards.

Features

Network

Dashboards clusters are reachable through a random port, attributed during cluster creation. Once your cluster is in RUNNING status, the Service URI will display the port to use.

Public as well as private networking (vRack) can be used for all the offers.

Ingress and Egress traffic are included in the service plans and unmetered.

The database service's IP address is subject to change periodically. Thus, it is advised not to rely on these IPs for any configuration, such as connection or egress policy. Instead, utilize the provided DNS record and implement CIDR-based egress policies for more robust and flexible network management.

Private network considerations

Here are some considerations to take into account when using private network:

  • Network ports are created in the private network of your choice. Thus, further operations on that network might be restricted - e.g. you won’t be able to delete the network if you didn’t stop the Public Cloud Databases services first.
  • When connecting from an outside subnet, the Openstack IP gateway must be enabled in the subnet used for the Database service. The customer is responsible for any other custom network setup.
  • Subnet sizing should include considerations for service nodes, other co-located services within the same subnet, and an allocation of additional available IP addresses for maintenance purposes. Failure to adequately size subnets could result in operational challenges and the malfunctioning of services.
  • OpenStack subnets routes announcement will not be applied to your services.
  • You can only create private network services if you are the original owner of the network. You can not create private network services on a shared network.
Authorised IPs

Once your service is up and running, you will be able to specify IP addresses (or CIDR blocks) to authorise incoming traffic. Until then, your service will be unreachable.

Advanced parameters

You can further customise your Dashboards by using advanced parameters. See the Advanced parameters references documentation for more information on the supported parameters.

Backups

Your services are automatically backed up hourly with a one day retention.

See the Automated Backups guide for more information.

Logs and metrics

Logs and metrics are available through the Control Panel, API and can be forwarded to Logs Data Platform. For setup instructions, see the Public Cloud Databases - How to setup logs forwarding guide.

  • Logs retention: 1000 lines of logs
  • Metrics retention: 1 calendar month

Please note that if the database instance is deleted, logs and metrics are also automatically deleted.

Users and roles

Creation of users must be done through the Dashboards Web interface.

Only one user is created by default and its name is admin. You must reset its password to connect for the first time to the Dashboards web interface.
