Artica Monitoring

• Return back to the system management

Artica Monitoring is a feature that provides you with the necessary tools to monitor your IT infrastructure, including Artica servers.
You can easily transform an Artica server into a powerful monitoring engine with just a few clicks.

Which components are needed to monitor your infrastructure.

Artica automatically installs the following components

• Grafana 
  It is a multi-platform analytics and visualization web application. 
  It’s widely used for creating dashboards, graphs, and alerts from different data sources—metrics, logs, traces, and more.
  Artica connect the Grafana service with Grafana Loki that is a log aggregation system.
  Its design goals are cost-effectiveness, scalability, and reduced operational complexity for storing and querying logs.
   
• Prometheus
  It is a powerful, flexible, and widely adopted monitoring system that excels in collecting and analyzing time-series metrics.
   
• LokiDB is a lightweight, open-source log aggregation system developed by Grafana Labs. 
  It is designed to complement Prometheus by focusing on logs instead of metrics. 
  Unlike traditional logging systems, Loki emphasizes simplicity and cost-efficiency by avoiding heavy indexing and relying on labels to organize log streams.
   
• Using Fluent Bit as an exporter provides significant benefits for monitoring, observability, and log management. 
  Fluent Bit's lightweight nature and ability to expose internal metrics in a Prometheus-compatible format make it a powerful tool for gaining insights into log processing performance and system behavior
  With Artica, Fluent Bit is used on the various Artica servers to centralize metrics in a single point.

Installing Grafana Loki

• Install Grafana and Grafana loki using Artica.
  By installing Grafana Loki, Artica will install the Grafana ecosystem, enabling you to create metrics on your Artica server or any other system using Grafana.
