Additional dashboards

When OpenTelemetry metrics are enabled, you can turn on advanced Grafana dashboards with enhanced visualization and monitoring capabilities.

• Elasticsearch - Detailed metrics for search performance, indexing operations, and cluster health
• Nomad - In-depth monitoring of job scheduling, resource allocation, and service orchestration
• HAProxy - Load balancer performance metrics, connection statistics, and request routing information
• Node Exporter - System-level metrics including CPU, memory, disk, and network statistics for each node
• Process Exporter - Detailed process-level metrics for monitoring individual service performance

These dashboards provide more granular insights into your {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} instance's performance and can help with advanced troubleshooting and capacity planning.

Prerequisites

• OpenTelemetry metrics are enabled for your {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} instance
• SSH access to your {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} instance

Enabling advanced dashboards

{% data reusables.enterprise_installation.ssh-into-instance %}

1. Run the following command to enable advanced dashboards:

   ghe-config observability.metrics.advanced-dashboards-enabled true
   

{% data reusables.enterprise.apply-configuration %}

After running these commands, your external Grafana instance will have access to additional pre-configured dashboards.
