# Node Monitoring

To ensure you have a seamless experience monitoring your node, we have developed a user-friendly Grafana Dashboard that enables you to easily keep track of primary metrics. Please follow the below steps to configure Grafana Dashboard for your node

### **Step 1: Get IP Address**

Get the IP address of your machine or the cloud instance. To get your public IP you can run this command: `curl ipinfo.io/ip`

### **Step 2: Access Grafana**

Access Grafana by entering this URL in your browser: `http://<public_ip_address>:3100`

**Note: Please replace \\\<public\_ip\_address> with your machine or instance’ IP address.**

* You will see a login screen. The username and password is : admin

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://stader.gitbook.io/stader/ethereum/node-operator/permissionless-node-operator/node-monitoring.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
