Monitoring operational metrics
IBM® Cloud Pak for Network Automation exposes operational metrics, which provide insight into the state, health, and performance of your IBM Cloud Pak® environment. You can monitor these metrics in the Grafana UI.
A default set of metrics is presented in a preconfigured operational dashboard. To access the dashboard, log in to the Grafana UI. For login steps, see Accessing metrics in the Grafana UI.
You can create your own Grafana dashboard to show the specific monitoring and troubleshooting metrics that you need for your environment. For information about how to configure IBM Cloud Pak for Network Automation to install custom dashboards, see Settings for Grafana. For information about the available metrics that you can add to your dashboards, see Orchestration metrics.
- If you are running IBM Cloud Pak for Network Automation in multitenant mode, the metrics that are shown on the dashboard are system wide. The metrics relate to all the tenants that are supported and not individual tenants.
- In an active-active configuration, the metrics that are shown on the dashboard are for the local cluster only. Metrics for remote clusters are not shown.
