# Monitor Using Health+ Dashboard for Confluent Platform

#### IMPORTANT
**Confluent Health+ is in the End-of-Life (EOL) process.**

Health+ is deprecated and users should plan to migrate to Unified Stream Manager (USM). While Health+
remains operational for existing users, it is scheduled to be retired, or to sunset, on December 31, 2026.
Starting with Confluent Platform version 8.1, Health+ is discontinued for new deployments and Unified Stream Manager is
the recommended alternative for all users.

To begin your migration planning, see [Unified Stream Manager (USM) in Confluent Platform](../usm/overview.md#usm-overview).

Access the Health+ Monitoring Dashboard with the following steps.

1. In your on-premises Confluent Platform cluster, [enable telemetry for Health+](enable-health-plus.md#enable-health-plus).
2. Log in to [Confluent Cloud](https://confluent.cloud/login).
3. Navigate to [Clusters](https://confluent.cloud/health-plus/clusters)
   to open the Health+ clusters page.
4. Click the cluster tile for your Confluent Platform deployment to open the monitoring
   dashboard.

## Dashboard features

Your Health+ metrics are organized into a convenient dashboard with the
following health categories. Each category has an overview page that you
can click into to see details.

Each metric is displayed as a time-series graph showing the most recent data.
Click the dropdown to set the time period you want to view, which can range
from the last hour to the last `30` days.

Hover over a graph to see details about the metric at a specific time. If there
are multiple graphs, cursor lines indicating the values of other metrics at the
same sample time appear.

Click a graph to open the details view for the metric. Hover over the graph
to show the cursor, and click to lock the cursor to a specific sample time.
If you pick a different time window, the locked cursor remains visible at the
selected sample time.
