BigchainDB uses [statsd](https://github.com/etsy/statsd) for monitoring. To fully take advantage of this functionality requires some additional infrastructure: an agent to listen for metrics (e.g. [telegraf](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf)), a time-series database (e.g. [influxdb](https://influxdata.com/time-series-platform/influxdb/), and a frontend to display analytics (e.g. [Grafana](http://grafana.org/)).
