<p>I enabled monitoring for my project in Rancher UI, and it installed succesfully. But when I click <em>"Go to grafana"</em> at my workload (such as <code>nginx</code>), it moves to Grafana dashboard, but Grafana show nothing: <code>0 CPU, 0 memory, 0 networking</code> ,... </p>

<ul>
<li>Why doesn't it have data ?</li>
<li>And how I can know consumed quota of my resource (workload, service, pod)?</li>
</ul>

<p>Please see my screenshots:</p>
