To avoid seeing a certificate warning when you access PingCentral, replace the user-facing SSL certificate so it will no longer use the self-signed certificate. See [Replacing the Admin Console SSL Certificate](pingcentral_admin_ssl_cert.html).

The Spring Boot Actuator, enabled by default, collects a wide variety of information to help you monitor and manage PingCentral in production environments. Spring Metrics collects a large amount of data, but it does not present the data in ways that are easy to understand, so you might want to move this data to either a Prometheus or Graphite time series database and use Grafana to view it through interactive dashboards with charts and graphs. See [Monitoring PingCentral](pingcentral_monitoring_pc.html) for details.
