Metrics

Netmaker Pro offers analytics. With Analytics, admin users can view connectivity, latency and data transferred between two peers or nodes on a Netmaker network. Client analytics are also available. All of this data may be visualised in the Netmaker UI. In addition, Netmaker includes a custom exporter for Prometheus/Grafana integration to view the data as well.

Metrics currently relies on ICMP to be allowed between nodes.

Below are the steps to view Analytics on your Netmaker Pro instance.

1

View network metrics in the Netmaker Dashboard

To view the metrics in the Netmaker Dashboard:

• Select a network.

• Click the Analytics interface.

• Switch to any metric you are interested in, including metrics from clients.

Metrics may take up to 5 minutes for nodes to report data.

If present, an analytics image for the dashboard will appear here.
