# Monitoring pods

The following Prometheus and Grafana pods from the `prometheus-operator` project run in the `monitoring` namespace:

| Pod                                                      | Description                                                                                                                                               |
| -------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `alertmanager-prometheus-operator-kube-p-alertmanager-0` | Handles Prometheus alerts by grouping them together, filtering them, and then routing them to a receiver, such as a Slack channel.                        |
| `prometheus-operator-kube-state-metrics-...`             | Generates Prometheus metrics for cluster node resources, such as CPU, memory, and disk usage. One pod is deployed for each node in a ForgeOps deployment. |
| `prometheus-operator-prometheus-node-exporter-...`       | Generates Prometheus metrics for Kubernetes objects, such as deployments and nodes.                                                                       |
| `prometheus-operator-grafana-...`                        | Provides the Grafana service.                                                                                                                             |
| `prometheus-prometheus-operator-kube-p-prometheus-0`     | Provides the Prometheus service.                                                                                                                          |
| `prometheus-operator-kube-p-operator-...`                | Runs the Prometheus operator.                                                                                                                             |
