### Description As a New User to Weaviate I would like to be able to monitor progress when I am uploading vector chunks to Weaviate. Did the collection get created? How many chunks are currently loaded successfuly. Did any fail to load successfully etc. So I am looking for something like a quick CLI or UI to see this sort of thing. After installing weaviate I did not see an Admin UI and searched for a CLI as well but saw nothing in the documentation about this. So I would like to know how people are quickly viewing these kinds of things. I have tried logging at info level and there is not much. At debug it’s quite verbose but not that clear what’s happening. At trace I image alot of stuff the filter through. I also want to be able in generall to quickly view all collections in weaviate etc. ### Server Setup Information - Weaviate Server Version: Latest - Deployment Method: docker compose running in debug mode - Multi Node? Number of Running Nodes: Single Node - Client Language and Version: Latest ### Any additional Information ---

hi @Draco ! Welcome to our community :hug:! Weaviate will expose metrics that can be monitored with tools like grafana/datadog/prometheus. We have here a blog post on that: > **[Monitoring Weaviate in Production | Weaviate - Vector Database](https://weaviate.io/blog/monitoring-weaviate-in-production)** > > Learn about how to monitor Weaviate in production and observe key metrics. Let me know if this helps. Thanks! ---

That’s great. I would like to be able to use cloud based montiroing to Weaviate. I am also looking for a way to inspect the collections that have loaded or are loading during chunking time. ---

There is an endpoint that can give you some information on that: [http://localhost:8080/v1/nodes?output=verbose](http://localhost:8080/v1/nodes?output=verbose) > **[Weaviate - Vector Database](https://weaviate.io/developers/weaviate/api/rest#tag/nodes)** Note: just found out the `output=verbose` is not documented on that api specs. 😬 ---

Ok that’s good to be aware of. I will try it!
