Grafana Dashboards

The CatalyX UI does not embed dashboards. Instead it links out to your Grafana instance, pre-filtered to the component you were looking at — so you land on the right data rather than a blank dashboard

Where the links are

Location	Links
Validators list	Metrics and Logs columns, per validator, targeting its participant.
Validator → Summary	Per component row: metrics for the participant, logs for every component.
Applications list	Metrics and Logs columns per application.
Application details	Open in Grafana links in the Endpoints section.

All of them open in a new tab, so you keep your place in the UI.

What each link opens

Logs opens Grafana's Loki log explorer, filtered to the component's service name, over the last 24 hours, newest first.

Metrics opens the Canton participant dashboard, filtered to that participant, over the last hour, refreshing every five minutes.

Metrics links only appear for participant components. The participant is the component with a Canton-specific dashboard; other components expose standard Kubernetes workload metrics, which you can reach through your own dashboards. Logs are available for every component.

Configuration

Set at install time, in the Helm values:

Value	Purpose
ui.grafana.baseUrl	Base URL of your Grafana instance.
ui.grafana.dataSource	Optional. The UID of the Loki data source to query, when Grafana has more than one.

The Grafana buttons are always rendered, whether or not ui.grafana.baseUrl points at a reachable Grafana. If you have not configured it, the links will open a broken page rather than being hidden. Set ui.grafana.baseUrl as part of every install.

Prerequisites

For these links to resolve to real data you need:

• Grafana, reachable by the people using the UI.

• Loki, receiving logs from the cluster, for the log links.

• Prometheus, scraping validator component metrics, for the metrics links. Enable monitoring.serviceMonitor.enabled in the Helm values if you use the Prometheus Operator.

• The Canton participant dashboard installed in your Grafana. Contact IntellectEU support for the dashboard definition.

The resource figures shown inside the UI — the CPU and memory bars on the lists and detail pages — do not come from Prometheus. They come from the Kubernetes metrics API, which requires metrics-server in the cluster. Prometheus and Grafana are only needed for the deep links.
