Currently, I’m using AWX in K8s with grafana, prometheus. I started this topic to discuss about golden metrics of AWX, so that we we can easily to monitor the status of AWX.

First, you can watch this youtube video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiVE8gc8a7I&ab\_channel=AnsibleAWXCommunity](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiVE8gc8a7I&ab_channel=AnsibleAWXCommunity). I learn a lot from it.

demo dashboard from awx repository [awx/tools/grafana/dashboards/demo\_dashboard.json at devel · ansible/awx · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/tools/grafana/dashboards/demo_dashboard.json)
