Concept
For monitoring, SwyxWare HealthMonitor provides the "Prometheus Exporter" interface. The Prometheus Exporter provides the "health status" of SwyxWare as determined by the HealthMonitor, as well as some other parameters, such as the response times of individual checks.
Prometheus queries the Prometheus Exporter at regular intervals, e.g. every 10 seconds, and stores the delivered metrics in a time series database. You can configure the query time.
In order to be able to include other data in the Prometheus database, such as the Windows Performance Counter of SwyxWare, you can use another open source component "sonar-perfmon": https://www.infragravity.com/knowledge-base/sonar-023-install-windows-host/. This is also a Prometheus Exporter.
With Grafana you can query the data stored in the time series database and visualize it on the dashboard:
If you are already using another monitoring system instead of Prometheus, you can also use it, provided it can query Prometheus exporters. Zabbix also supports the Prometheus interface: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/4.4/manual/config/items/itemtypes/prometheus
