How universities preserve and protect digital assets with Grafana dashboards

Universities are utilizing Grafana dashboards to enhance the monitoring and preservation of digital assets through a distributed digital preservation network, SAFE PLN, which involves seven partner universities across Europe and Canada. This network is designed to safeguard scientific publications, theses, and research data by using LOCKSS technology, developed at Stanford University, to replicate and verify data integrity across multiple nodes. The adoption of Grafana, alongside Grafana Loki and Prometheus, has streamlined the monitoring process by providing real-time visibility and alert systems, replacing a previously cumbersome custom application. This setup allows for immediate detection and response to network issues, thereby improving security and efficiency significantly. The initiative has proven its resilience and adaptability, prompting adoption by other LOCKSS networks, including the Alabama Digital Preservation Network and the MetaArchive Cooperative, indicating a growing trend in utilizing Grafana for digital preservation efforts.
