Quick Start
Quick Start guide provides minimum number of steps to start Business Intelligence platform using existing Grafana LGTM stack and production data.

Grafana 11
The Business Engine requires Grafana 11. The Business Intelligence platform will always be compatible with the current Grafana version.
Docker Compose configuration
Create docker-compose.yml
file with the following containers:
- Timescale database stores Business Engine configuration data. If you have existing Timescale database or Timescale Cloud instance you can use them to store Business Engine configuration.
- Business Engine uses a service account key to access Grafana HTTP APIs to extract necessary configurations. It evaluates alert rules and calls actions.
