Grafana + Prometheus Node
The monitoring companion for everything else in the catalog.
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.
