Metric Panel Management - Grafana

After installing and configuring the observability components, the collected metrics will be available on Grafana dashboards, which make up the Metric Panel of the PostgreSYS platform.

If the Metric Panel service (watcher) is running, it can be accessed via the URL http://<IP>:3000.
