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 - https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/dashboards/build-dashboards/

Useful dashboards:
