Arko - The unified platform for efficient monitoring of hybrid cloud infrastructures
Why?
As cloud infrastructures grow ever more complex, reading monitoring dashboards has become a non-trivial task. For on-call monitoring personnel, one of the toughest challenges is determining whether the system is operating normally or if immediate action is required.
This task becomes even more difficult in heterogeneous environments, where a mix of bare-metal servers and virtual machines runs across multiple private and public cloud infrastructures — each with its own metrics and monitoring tools. The result is a fragmented view of the system that makes quick, accurate decision-making increasingly difficult.
Solution
Arko provides an at-a-glance view of the status of your hybrid infrastructure — spanning both public and private environments — and the applications running on top of it.
Using a simple semaphore principle (green / orange / red), Arko instantly communicates system status:
🔴 Critical issues detected – Lunch will have to wait
🟠 Non-urgent issues detected – I can go to lunch but have to check back afterwards
🟢 Everything runs smoothly - I can go to lunch
Arko comes in two flavors: a full product version and a Grafana dashboards-only version, making it easy to integrate seamlessly into your existing Grafana-based monitoring setup.
Advantages
Arko not only gives you an instant overview of your infrastructure’s status — its unique drill-down approach also helps you quickly identify the source of any issue. During production incidents, when every minute counts, Arko keeps downtime to a minimum.
Arko’s dashboards are designed by engineers who use them daily to simplify their job by improving monitoring, accelerating troubleshooting and reducing downtime.
