# Monitoring Dashboard

The PMK Monitoring dashboard is a real-time multi cluster view into alarms for the last 24 hours. Using this dashboard you are able to filter alarms by `severity`, `cluster` and `time`. Each alarm contains a link to drill down to Grafana for further investigation.

#### My Monitoring Dashboard is Empty?

For the Monitoring Dashboard to populate at lease one cluster within your environment must have monitoring enabled.

To ensure monitoring is enabled navigate to `Infrastructure` click the `Clusters` tab and then select a cluster, this will activate the table toolbar, then click the `Monitoring` button. In the popup click `Enable`.

Once enabled the Platform9 Management Plan will then deploy an `Operator` that runs Prometheus, Alertmanager and Grafana.

**Warning**

Depending on the clusters available resources the `Operator` may take up to 15 minutes to start all required `Pods`.
