Introducing ARKO: Monitor your heterogeneous infrastructure in an intuitive way
summary
ALASCA ARKO is a donated, open source monitoring stack (Apache) that combines Prometheus/Grafana/Alertmanager, S3/MinIO long‑term storage and log synchronization to monitor hybrid clouds and bare metal. It supports 20+ built‑in platforms and 100+ custom dashboards, uses a drill‑down hierarchy with semaphore colors (green/orange/red) to show actionability, reports GPU memory and CPU spikes for AI clusters, is battle‑tested since 2020, and the live demo (real alert and GPU spike) works.
