Trustgrid Node Dashboard

A reference dashboard for Trustgrid customers showing how to use Trustgrid's built-in OTEL exporter to monitor Trustgrid appliances in Grafana. Includes interface RX/TX, VPN overlay traffic, system resources, gateway connectivity, connection flows, and structured log panels for node events, audit logs, and config changes.

Trustgrid Node Dashboard

A sample dashboard for monitoring Trustgrid edge nodes using the built-in OpenTelemetry (OTEL) exporter. Use it as a starting point or reference for building your own Trustgrid monitoring in Grafana.

What This Dashboard Shows

Top bar - at-a-glance status

CPU, memory, and disk utilization
Gateway connectivity percentage
Active vs. available gateway connections

Network Traffic

Interface RX and TX throughput (bytes/sec), filterable by interface
VPN/overlay tunnel throughput

Connection Flows

Active, new, and embryonic (half-open TCP) flows
TCP resets over time useful for spotting dropped connections or service disruptions

System Resources

CPU, memory, and disk usage over time
JVM heap utilization
Gateway connection counts over time

Node Events and Logs

Node Events: connectivity changes, gateway disruptions, failover events, and network errors
Node Audit Log: user-initiated actions such as upgrades and restarts
Change Audit Log: changes that were made, and who made them

Requirements

Observability enabled in your Trustgrid organization (by request)
Grafana with a Prometheus datasource receiving Trustgrid metrics
Grafana with a Loki datasource receiving Trustgrid logs

Variables

Node the Trustgrid node to display data for
Network filter flow and reset metrics by virtual network
Interface filter network traffic panels by physical interface
Resolution time window for metric averaging (5m, 10m, 30m, 1h)

Getting Started

Configure OTEL exporter in the Trustgrid portal
Confirm metrics are arriving in Prometheus and logs in Loki.
Import this dashboard and map the two datasource inputs when prompted.
Select your node from the Node dropdown to begin.
