OpenShift provides some observability features out-of-the-box, but which features are available depends on what your cluster admin has working and what you have access to. On the NERC, we are able to see container metrics in OpenShift Developer's built-in dashboard. To enable custom visualizations, metrics analysis, and alerting, we need to connect this data to an instance of Grafana which we control.

Currently, https://cube.chrisproject.org is being powered by a VM called fnndsc.childrens.harvard.edu in the Boston Children Hospital network's DMZ. It's been working well for us through the years, however its 480GB disk frequently runs out of space. For more storage, we want to try migrating the data into NERC OpenStack Swift object storage.
