Hi,
I have question about Cribl monitoring. When I go to Monitoring → Overview in Cribl GUI, I can see data (Free Memory, CPU Load etc.) that is at most 1 day old, because time picker not allows choose longer period. Is there any way how to see older data - for example for 1 week back? And is there any way for other monitoring dashboards with the same time picker setting? Thanks for any hint.
Best regards
Lukas Mecir

This is by design. Our best practice is to set-up routes for the internal logs and metrics to land in a proper monitoring tool (Elastic, Grafana, Splunk, etc) for long term trending and reporting.


Something also to note… These metrics are also stored in memory on the Leader. If you restart the Leader, the metrics are lost so forwarding to an external time series database is recommended.
