Grafana Monitoring

By default, the following services are added to docker compose:

• Prometheus
• Logporter
• Loki
• Promtail

These 4 containers together with Grafana provide a set of Grafana Dashboards describing the state of a Pepeunit instance.

Grafana Dashboards

These dashboards are available by default in Main Org. Regular Users have View access. Admin access is available only when logging in with GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_USER and GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD.

Name	Required access	Description
Docker Logs	Admin	View logs of any container
Backend Aggregated Logs	Admin	View Backend logs aggregated by message with the ability to filter by log levels
Backend Load Metrics	View	Shows request load on the most important part of the system – the Backend
EMQX Load Metrics	View	Shows load on EMQX, the main data manager in the system
Docker Resource Metrics	View	Shows resource usage by the system as a whole and by each container separately
