The Sonic Metrics Dashboard is a powerful performance monitoring and visualization tool developed as part of the Sonic project. Built on Grafana and customized extensively for blockchain performance analysis, this dashboard enables real-time tracking of key metrics related to transaction processing, block production, and overall system health. It provides critical insights to developers, operators, and stakeholders, helping them optimize and maintain the Sonic blockchain.

​
Purpose

The Sonic Metrics Dashboard was designed to address the challenges of monitoring high-performance blockchain environments. By visualizing performance data in real time, the dashboard allows users to:

  1. Monitor System Health:
    Track the performance of nodes, including transaction throughput (TPS), block production time, and network latency.

  2. Identify Bottlenecks:
    Quickly detect and address performance bottlenecks, such as high transaction failure rates or delayed block production.

  3. Compare Optimizations:
    Evaluate the impact of system optimizations by comparing metrics before and after updates.

  4. Support High-Concurrency Operations:
    Ensure the Sonic blockchain is capable of handling large-scale, high-concurrency applications like WEB3 games.

  5. Facilitate Debugging:
    Provide detailed logs and visualizations to help developers identify and resolve issues.

​
