# Monitoring
|
|
|
|
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/)).
|
|
|
|
For ease of use, we've provided a docker compose file that sets up all these services for testing. Simply run in the BigchainDB directory:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
$ docker-compose -f docker-compose-monitor.yml build
|
|
$ docker-compose -f docker-compose-monitor.yml up
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and point a browser tab to `http://localhost:3000/dashboard/script/bigchaindb_dashboard.js`. Login and password are `admin` by default. If BigchainDB is running and processing transactions, you should see analytics—if not, [start BigchainDB](installing.html#run-bigchaindb) and load some test transactions:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
$ bigchaindb-benchmark load
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and refresh the page after a few seconds.
|
|
|
|
If you're not interested in monitoring, don't worry: BigchainDB will function just fine without any monitoring setup.

Feel free to modify the [custom Grafana dashboard](https://github.com/rhsimplex/grafana-bigchaindb-docker/blob/master/bigchaindb_dashboard.js) to your liking! |
