# Workload Cluster Monitoring

This page covers the monitoring for the management cluster in SMCP.

## Deploying monitoring stack

Monitoring components for the management cluster in SMCP are packaged as a Helm chart. This helm chart is bundled with with Airctl dependencies.

The helm chart is located at `/opt/pf9/airctl/conf/helm_charts/` and can be found after the SMCP [auto$](https://github.com/platform9/pcd-docs-gitbook/blob/main/PEC/installation/README.md).

The name of the chart follows the pattern kube-prometheus-stack-62.7.1-9.tgz.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Bash" %}

```bash
helm install mgmt-monitoring -n pf9-monitoring /opt/pf9/airctl/conf/helm_charts/kube-prometheus-stack-62.7.1-9.tgz --create-namespace
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

All monitoring pods status can be checked in `pf9-monitoring` namespace including Grafana, Alert-Manager, Prometheus etc.

The deployed Grafana service already has dashboards pre-created for you to use. You can edit, add or remove by updating the helm chart.

## Configuring monitoring stack

You can configure the monitoring stack deployment by updating the helm chart `override.yaml` to update the defaults configured in values.yaml.
