# Integrated Real-Time Telemetry & Metrics Architecture
|
|
|
|
## Seamless In-App Telemetry vs. Standalone Grafana
|
|
|
|
Traditional NAS appliances that provide telemetry either bundle a heavy standalone Grafana instance (which requires its own SQLite/PostgreSQL database, user accounts, and separate session cookies) or isolate graphs into a disconnected, foreign tab.
|
|
|
|
NaxOS takes a pioneering approach by integrating **Perses** (a Cloud Native Computing Foundation project) as the underlying declarative telemetry engine, weaving real-time metrics directly into the core appliance dashboard and storage views:
|
|
|
|
1. **GitOps & Declarative Native**:
|
|
- Perses dashboards and datasources are written in clean declarative JSON/CUE manifests.
|
|
- Dashboards are checked into `/var/lib/perses/projects/naxos/dashboards` as code.
|
|
2. **Embedded Direct Visualization**:
|
|
- The NaxOS Web Dashboard seamlessly communicates with the internal Perses metrics API.
|
|
- Eliminates Grafana's multi-megabyte bundle overhead, auth barriers, and database schema migrations.
|
|
- Telemetry widgets live naturally alongside storage pool management, active workloads, and system status.
|
|
3. **Optimized for OpenZFS Metrics**:
|
|
- Out-of-the-box panels monitor OpenZFS ARC hits, misses, ARC target sizing, IOPS, and disk latencies scraped from Prometheus and Node Exporter.
