Observability in Genesys Authentication
Learn about the logs, metrics, and alerts you should monitor for Genesys Authentication.
Monitoring
Private edition services expose metrics that can be scraped by Prometheus, to support monitoring operations and alerting.
- As described on Monitoring overview and approach, you can use a tool like Grafana to create dashboards that query the Prometheus metrics to visualize operational status.
- As described on Customizing Alertmanager configuration, you can configure Alertmanager to send notifications to notification providers such as PagerDuty, to notify you when an alert is triggered because a metric has exceeded a defined threshold.
The services expose a number of Genesys-defined and third-party metrics. The metrics that are defined in third-party software used by private edition services are available for you to use as long as the third-party provider still supports them. For descriptions of available Genesys Authentication metrics, see:
See also System metrics.
