As part of the project Strengthening Fiscal and Financial Stability, a new Data Center monitoring platform has been introduced to support and improve IT infrastructure and digital operations of the Ministry of Finance.

Under this work, the Prometheus platform, which can monitor the normal operation of information systems, network and service load in an integrated way, was integrated with the Grafana platform, which can display monitoring information graphically. With the help of this platform, it is possible to monitor system resource usage information, successful and unsuccessful requests, network and system load from a unified monitoring screen in real time.

When a system down occurs, it is difficult to find out what caused the problem, and it used to take a lot of time to go through each server to determine the problem. With the help of the Grafana platform, it is possible to compare the logs and other parameters of the system, distinguish between network problems, system load and resource usage, and it has the advantages of receiving direct e-mail notifications when problems occur in the system. Also, server parameters such as the size of the hard disk of the server increases, the amount of CPU and RAM increases, by setting a limit, if the limit is exceeded, the system administrators can get a notification every time and prevent the system and servers from failing.

Currently, the following servers are monitored on the Grafana platform. It includes:

1. Inter-banking transaction system
2. 5 servers of Government Financial Management Information System
3. Public organizations’' financial reporting system (E-Report)
4. Internet gateway device (firewall) of the Ministry of Finance
5. Internal network switches

Systems to be added in the future:

1. Card transaction system
2. Debt Management system (DMFAS)
3. Public Investment Management system
4. Local Development Fund Management System (LDFMIS)
5. Loan and Aid Information System (ODAMIS)
6. E-Statement system (E-Huulga)
7. Glass accounting information system
8. Fiscal and financial integrated service platform (http://esb.mof.gov.mn/)
9. Private organizations' financial reporting system (E-Balance)
10. Web and internal information systems of the Ministry of Finance
11. Around 100 servers can be added, including other systems of the Ministry of Finance.

As an example, the general parameters of access to the E-Report system are shown in the following figure. This graph shows the system received a total of 13,800 requests in the last 24 hours and 545 successful accesses in the last 30 minutes.
