Feature Description
You can a monitor wide range of application and system statistics, and key performance indicators (KPI) within the PCF infrastructure. KPIs are useful to gain insight into the overall health of the PCF environment. Statistics offer a simplified representation of the PCF configurations and utilization-specific data.
The PCF integrates with Prometheus, a third-party monitoring and alerting solution to capture and preserve the performance data. This data is reported as statistics and can be viewed in the web-based dashboard. Grafana provides a graphical or text-based representation of statistics and counters, which the Prometheus database collects. The Grafana dashboard projects a comprehensive set of quantitative and qualitative data that encourages you to analyze PCF metrics in the reporting tool of your choice and take informed decisions.
By default, the monitoring solution is enabled, which indicates that Prometheus continually monitors your PCF environment and the Prometheus data source is associated with Grafana. You must have the administrative privileges to access Grafana. However, to view a specific dashboard, run the Prometheus queries. The queries are available in the built-in and custom format.
