CEM can export time series metrics to several metric storage providers. The recommended metrics store service is Prometheus. Prometheus integrates with Grafana for time series metric visualization. With Prometheus and Grafana, you can store and visualize metrics for CEM. For details on how to enable and set Prometheus and Grafana, see Monitoring Metrics with Grafana.
