Monitor and graph types
Controller uses monitors to collect different types of data from a scenario as it is running. You can view the data collected by these monitors in real time, in the online monitor graphs in Controller.
After the run is complete, you can use Analysis to view the collected data from any monitor and generate more detailed graphs. You can also view a summary of the data in InfluxDB, and generate graphs using a visualization tool like Grafana.
Some monitors are set up automatically, while others require additional configuration before use. For details, see Configure monitors.
