Curious if anyone has tried to or succeeded in creating a centralized dashboard to monitor MAS 8 instances and OpenShift infrastructure?

We are planning to have 16 Maximo instances (the majority of the instances are implementation project related) across four clusters and want to have a high-level consolidated dashboard to show the health of the environments and the underlying infrastructure. For our attempt at this, we plan to use Grafana and Prometheus.

Thanks.

The preffered solution from Red Hat would be Advanced Cluster Management, which allows to manage and monitor all Your cluster from one place. More information here: https://www.redhat.com/en/technologies/management/advanced-cluster-management

If You want just to have very high level overview of the clusters states You can use single Grafana instance with multiple data sources, each one being Prometheus in every cluster.

Hi Craig,

When you use the Ansible DevOps scripts ibm.mas_devops.oneclick_core or ibm.mas_devops.cluster_monitoring to install MAS instances, Grafana is automatically installed and configured. Alternatively, you can follow IBM's instructions to install Grafana manually.

To access Grafana, you can use the following URL: https://grafana-route-grafana.apps.{your OCP hostname}.

If Grafana was installed before the Manage activation, you should have a pre-configured dashboard available.

If you prefer to import a dashboard manually in JSON format, you can retrieve the file from the {instanceid}-entitymgr-ws-56cf845fcd pod running under the Manage namespace. To obtain the file, you can use the following command:

oc rsync {instanceid}-entitymgr-ws-56cf845fcd-dgm6n:/opt/ansible/roles/manage-deployment/files/maximo-dashboard.json

For more details on the available metrics and monitoring in Maximo, you can refer to the following documentation: Maximo Monitoring Metrics.
