Monitoring AllegroGraph with Prometheus and Grafana
AllegroGraph’s main monitoring/observability endpoint is /metrics, which exposes various metrics in Prometheus format. This endpoint requires superuser permissions.
In order to reduce computational load on the system, the /metrics endpoints supports requesting metrics of a particular kind (category). Currently supported categories are:
* system: comprehensive system metrics including CPU usage, memory utilization, disk I/O, network activity, and AllegroGraph-specific connection counts (backend, sessions, etc);
* jobs: information about active SPARQL queries (jobs) including total count and age statistics (maximum, minimum, and average age in seconds);
* queries: information about queries, like the total number of queries executed per active triple store, cumulative time, number of running queries etc.
* indices: reports on repository index health including total indexed triples and optimization scores for each index by class; only returns metrics for the repositories currently in operation to avoid starting the dormant ones;
* replication: monitors Multi-Master Replication status including commits behind primary, ingest queue length, controlling status, and replication state for each repository; like indices, only returns metrics for repositories currently in operation.

GitHub Examples:
Gruff v9 – Now Available!
New Features Include:

By augmenting Knowledge Graphs with visualizations, users can determine insights that would otherwise elude them. Gruff’s dynamic data visualizations increase users’ understanding of data by instantly illustrating relevant relationships, hidden patterns and data’s significance to outcomes. Gruff also helps make data actionable by displaying it in a way that decision-makers can see the significance of data relative to a business problem or solution.
Gruff enables users to create visual knowledge graphs that display data relationships in views that are driven by the user. Ad hoc and exploratory analysis can be performed by simply clicking on different graph nodes to answer questions. Gruff’s unique ‘Time Machine’ feature provides the capability to explore temporal context and connections within data. The visual query builder within Gruff empowers both novice and expert users to create simple to highly complex queries without writing any code
- Now Browser Based
- Graphical View with new “Time Machine” feature – See the shape and density of graph data evolve over time
- Tabular view – Understand objects as a whole
- Outline view – Explore the often hierarchical nature of graphs
- Query view – Write Prolog or SPARQL queries
- Graphical Query Builder – Create queries visually via drag and drop
