Documentation Grafana Cloud Instrument and send data Fleet Management Manage your fleet Collectors Troubleshoot Internal metrics

Internal metrics

You can use a collector’s internal metrics to identify issues and make decisions about scaling based on resource usage. Visualize these metrics with out-of-the-box dashboards in Grafana Fleet Management.

1. In your Grafana Cloud stack, click Connections > Collector > Fleet Management.
2. Search, filter, or sort to find the unhealthy collector in your Inventory.
3. Click on the collector to open the details view drawer and view the Health tab.

The dashboards in the Health tab are based on the Alloy Health integration and default to use metrics scraped by the self_monitoring_metrics pipeline, which is assigned automatically to a registered collector. You can change the data source with the dropdown menu on the Health tab of the details view.

Fleet Management dashboards

The application offers four dashboards:

• The Collector dashboard reports metrics from the collector’s component controller.
• The Resources dashboard reports metrics based on the collector’s resource usage.
• The Prometheus Components dashboard reports metrics on the performance of Prometheus components in the collector’s configuration, including:
  • prometheus.scrape
  • prometheus.remote_write
• The Cluster Node dashboard reports metrics on the status of communication with peers within a cluster of Alloy instances. Metrics reported on this dashboard begin with cluster_node_*. Clustering must be enabled before Cluster Node metrics are reported.
