It is possible to access the monitoring data via Grafana - go to MY_IP:3000 (replacing MY_IP with the real address of Accelario Virtualization).

For the first time login with admin/admin, you will be asked to change password.

Once there, you can build dashboards with any metric.

The full documentation on how to build dashboards in Grafana can be found here - Build dashboards | Grafana documentation
