Appian Monitoring Dashboards with Grafana

Overview

Monitoring the overall health of your Appian environment(s) is vital to keeping your business running without interruptions. Today, IT engineers responsible for enterprise infrastructure maintenance lack visibility into Appian-specific metrics & issues.

Deft Consulting’s Appian Monitoring Dashboards with Grafana integrates Appian raw logs and orchestrates them in graphic charts and metrics useful for real-time backend monitoring. Engineers will have access to complex but easy-to-read dashboards that will provide visibility of the behavior of the Appian instance. This will enable them to easily identify potential problems in order to take preventive measures and ensure they stick to organization-wide standards. The tool also provides real time alerts to notify engineers and allow them to immediately correct existing problems that could be critical to the environment, such as database performance, overall usage, failed login attempts, integration issues, among others.

Key Features & Functionality

The Appian Monitoring Dashboards with Grafana significantly improve currently available data by including log data previously inaccessible by engineering teams. It enhances visibility across the most important and relevant engineering resources. The main list of features include:

  • Interactive charts showing real-time metrics from Appian logs
  • Ability to explore metrics to take preventive and corrective actions
  • In addition to basic metrics shown in Appian Forum, the dashboards display supplemental information such as database and login metrics
  • Extended user access (beyond only those users with access to Appian Forum)
  • Customizable charts and filters
  • Alerts & triggers (e.g. send emails based on conditions or exceeded thresholds)
  • Date/Time range selection & filter
  • Dashboard import/export for migration

Benefits & Business Impact

This app provides valuable data metrics for businesses to keep track of the health of their Appian systems without much effort. The charts, filters and user accesses allow for efficient preventive maintenance practices that will save downtime costs as well as preventing having to escalate performance issues before they become too serious.
