# Dashboard

Monitoring GridGain 8 clusters with Control Center's user-configurable graphical dashboards.

This section covers monitoring capabilities of GridGain Control Center. You can start by monitoring each node in isolation, the connection between nodes, or the system as a whole. Control Center features a graphical user interface with flexible, user-configurable dashboards. The dashboards provide a visual presentation of the cluster status. The drag-and-drop interface allows you to monitor any of 200+ metrics available in Apache Ignite.

Depending on configuration, [secured clusters](/docs/tools/enterprise/control-center/gg8/authorization-permissions.md) might require a cluster-level authentication for some (or all) of the actions.
