Grafana is a multi-platform open source analytics and interactive visualization web application. It provides charts, graphs, and alerts for the web when connected to supported data sources. It is expandable through a plug-in system. End users can create complex monitoring dashboards using interactive query builders.
Prometheus is an open-source monitoring and alerting toolkit. It is a part of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. It collects metrics from configured targets at given intervals, evaluates rule expressions, displays the results, and can trigger alerts if some condition is observed to be true.
The different configurations for the Grafana dashboards are stored in the monitoring directory.
