# Step 4.9 Enable monitoring

Enabling monitoring will offer valuable insights into your hardware statistics, including CPU usage, RAM usage, and available disk space. Additionally, it will monitor your validator statistics and ETH rewards, among other relevant information. It's important to note that none of this data will be transmitted to any remote server for analysis; it is solely intended for your own observation on your node. If you wish to enable the monitoring system, please select "Yes".

By choosing "Yes", you will receive a pre-configured Grafana dashboard once your node is registered and validators are added. This dashboard can be imported to monitor the statistics of your node and validators. We will discuss the process of importing the Grafana dashboard in detail in the "Node Migration" section.
