Collect data and view dashboards

  1. Visit config-ui at http://localhost:4000 in your browser to configure DevLake and collect data.

  2. To view dashboards, click View Dashboards button in the top left corner, or visit localhost:3002 (username: admin, password: admin).
    • We use Grafana to visualize the DevOps data and build dashboards.

Upgrade to a newer version

Support for database schema migration was introduced to DevLake in v0.10.0. From v0.10.0 onwards, users can upgrade their instance smoothly to a newer version. However, versions prior to v0.10.0 do not support upgrading to a newer version with a different database schema.
