This part of the tutorial focuses on accessing the User Interface (UI) and creating a dashboard.
Add example data
To create a dashboard you first need some data. Charmed Superset comes with the option to import test data for experimentation via a configuration parameter. You can do so as follows:
juju config superset-k8s load-examples=True
This may take some time, up to 5 minutes.
Once completed, juju status shows the superset-k8s/0 unit with Message: Status check: UP:
Model Controller Cloud/Region Version SLA Timestamp
superset-model superset-controller microk8s/localhost 3.5.3 unsupported 11:05:51+01:00

Access the UI
You can now access the UI via the superset-k8s/0 address, port 8088. You can do this by opening a browser to <unit-ip>:8088, in this example 10.1.255.5:8088, and logging-in with the username/password admin/admin.
Create a dashboard
A dashboard is made up of at least one chart. You have pre-loaded some data including some ready made charts in the previous steps. Add some of these charts to your dashboard by following the steps below:
- Start by clicking
+ Dashboardon the welcome page. This opens a new draft dashboard. - Select
Edit Dashboardand drag and drop the top three charts into the dashboard. - Give your dashboard a name. For instance,
Example dashboard. - Save your dashboard.
- Click the
Draftbutton to turn it from a draft to a published dashboard.
