Grafana + Prometheus Node

Grafana plus Prometheus is the de facto open-source monitoring pair: Prometheus scrapes and stores time-series metrics with a powerful query language (PromQL), while Grafana turns that data into rich, shareable dashboards and alerts. This bundle ships both together as a single combined monitoring stack, with Grafana serving its web UI on port 3000 and Prometheus handling collection and storage behind it.

Key features

• Prometheus time-series database with a pull-based scraping model and PromQL for flexible querying
• Grafana dashboards with dozens of panel types, templating, and a huge library of prebuilt dashboards
• Built-in alerting in both Prometheus (Alertmanager-style rules) and Grafana unified alerting
• Service discovery and exporters for hosts, containers, databases, and hundreds of third-party systems
• Multi-datasource Grafana (query Prometheus alongside logs, traces, and SQL sources)
• Long-term metrics retention plus a downsampling-friendly architecture
• Role-based access, API-driven provisioning, and dashboards-as-code

Use cases

• Infrastructure and host monitoring (CPU, memory, disk, network) across a fleet
• Application and service SLO tracking with latency, error-rate, and throughput dashboards
• Kubernetes and container observability
• On-call alerting and incident response with actionable notifications

Why run it on the NetActuate edge Collect metrics close to where your workloads actually run, cutting scrape latency and cross-region egress. Keep dashboards and alerting responsive for operators no matter which PoP the data originates in, and run a regional Prometheus per edge location that federates upward so a single site outage never blinds your global view.
