Grafana Dashboard for GenLayer Validator

A ready-to-use Grafana dashboard to monitor a GenLayer validator node using Prometheus and the Infinity datasource plugin.
It provides visibility into validator status, synchronization, block metrics, transaction metrics, and system performance (CPU, RAM, Disk, GC, Network).

Requirements

• Grafana (tested on 11.x)
• Prometheus
• yesoreyeram-infinity-datasource plugin for Grafana
• A GenLayer validator node exposing:
  • Prometheus metrics (with genvm, webdriver, node collectors)
  • HTTP health endpoint: http://<instance_ip>:<metrics_port>/health with JSON containing checks.validating.status

Dashboard Variables

• instance_ip — IP address of the GenLayer node
• metrics_port — Prometheus metrics port (default: 9153)

Integration with Prometheus

To enable historical metric visualization, Prometheus must actively scrape your GenLayer node.
This requires explicitly adding the node as a target in your prometheus.yml configuration.

Example:

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'genlayer-validator'
    static_configs:
      - targets:
          - '<instance_ip>:<metrics_port>'

Notes

• Ensure the node’s metrics and health endpoints are reachable from both Grafana and Prometheus.
• The health status panel relies on the Infinity datasource parsing JSON from /health.
• Some panels display external images — replace them with local assets if required.
• Thresholds for CPU, RAM, and Disk usage are generic and can be adjusted.

⚠️ Important: After importing the dashboard, manually re-select the Infinity datasource for the "Validator" panel (top-left). Grafana might incorrectly assign the default Prometheus datasource. To fix:

1. Edit the panel → go to Panel settings → Datasource
2. Select the correct Infinity datasource from the dropdown
3. Ensure the URL is correctly set as:
   http://$instance_ip:$metrics_port/health
