Cybus Connectware Release 2.6: Real-Time Production Observability with Native Prometheus Metrics

Cybus Connectware now exposes meaningful Prometheus metrics across all key components

Operators can see the health of their data foundation at any time, through the monitoring tools they already use.

Cybus Connectware runs where downtime is not an option – inside the production environments of the world’s most demanding manufacturers. Release 2.6 makes that foundation even stronger: it now exposes native Prometheus metrics across all key components, giving operators deeper, real-time insight into connections, data flow and performance – in the stack they already use.

The highlights

• Real-time visibility – out of the box: Connect Cybus Connectware to Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog, PagerDuty or any other Prometheus-compatible tool and start building dashboards and alerts immediately. No custom instrumentation, no manual wiring. And no new dashboard to adopt: the metrics land in the ones your teams already run.
• Know the moment it matters: The new metrics answer the three questions that matter most in operations: Is the connection to the machine alive? Is data flowing? Are operations succeeding? Answers in seconds.
• Deeper insight into the Protocol Mapper Agent: The Protocol Mapper Agent is the critical layer between machines and Cybus Connectware. It now exposes metrics for connection health, data flow and mapping execution – so you can pinpoint precisely whether a behavior originates in the machine or in the software.
• Automatic setup on Kubernetes: For Kubernetes deployments the Cybus Helm Charts ship with Prometheus Operator integration – automated metric discovery and scraping, without configuring each component endpoint by hand.

What is covered

See the monitoring documentation for setup and configuration, and the metrics reference for every metric each component exposes.

What your team sees

This is an example of what your team could see. Your Grafana dashboard, reading from your own Prometheus: Connectware supplies the metrics, your team builds whatever dashboard it needs.

For example in this dashboard: Everything green except four things: one OPC UA connection down, one failed deployment, two agents that dropped out briefly, one spike in denied access. Four problems in 3,412 endpoints. Visible right away.

Why this update matters

Cybus Connectware is the infrastructure production runs on – proven in the most demanding environments. Release 2.6 makes it easier to operate at scale: teams running Cybus Connectware inside a shared enterprise monitoring stack now integrate it directly, catch events earlier and pinpoint their source with precision. They do it from the dashboards and alert rules they already maintain, not from a separate tool. This is observability at the level enterprise teams expect – one more step in making a strong data foundation easier to operate and to scale.

Availability

Available from Release 2.6. The metrics are active after the upgrade, with automatic discovery on Kubernetes. The complete 2.6 changelog is also available.
