+## Rancher Performance Dashboard
+
+When monitoring is installed on the upstream (local) cluster, you are given basic health metrics about the Rancher pods, such as CPU and memory data. To get advanced metrics for your local Rancher server, you must additionally enable the Rancher Performance Dashboard for Grafana.
+
+This dashboard provides access to the following advanced metrics:
+
+- Handler Average Execution Times Over Last 5 Minutes
+- Rancher API Average Request Times Over Last 5 Minutes
+- Subscribe Average Request Times Over Last 5 Minutes
+- Lasso Controller Work Queue Depth (Top 20)
+- Number of Rancher Requests (Top 20)
+- Number of Failed Rancher API Requests (Top 20)
+- K8s Proxy Store Average Request Times Over Last 5 Minutes (Top 20)
+- K8s Proxy Client Average Request Times Over Last 5 Minutes (Top 20)
+- Cached Objects by GroupVersionKind (Top 20)
+- Lasso Handler Executions (Top 20)
+- Handler Executions Over Last 2 Minutes (Top 20)
+- Total Handler Executions with Error (Top 20)
+- Data Transmitted by Remote Dialer Sessions (Top 20)
+- Errors for Remote Dialer Sessions (Top 20)
+- Remote Dialer Connections Removed (Top 20)
+- Remote Dialer Connections Added by Client (Top 20)
+
+:::note
+
+Profiling data (such as advanced memory or CPU analysis) is not present as it is a very context-dependent technique that's meant for debugging and not intended for normal observation.

+
+
+
+Use the following options with the Helm CLI:
+
+```bash
+--set extraEnv\[0\].name="CATTLE_PROMETHEUS_METRICS" --set-string extraEnv\[0\].value=true
+```
+
+You can also include the following snippet in your Rancher Helm chart's values.yaml file:
+
+```yaml
+extraEnv:
+ - name: "CATTLE_PROMETHEUS_METRICS"
+ value: "true"
+```
+
+
+
+
+1. Click **☰ > Cluster Management**.
+1. Go to the row of the `local` cluster and click **Explore**.
+1. Click **Workloads > Deployments**.
+1. Use the dropdown menu at the top to filter for **All Namespaces**.
+1. Under the `cattle-system` namespace, go to the `rancher` row and click **⋮ > Edit Config**
+1. Under **Environment Variables**, click **Add Variable**.
+1. For **Type**, select `Key/Value Pair`.
+1. For **Variable Name**, enter `CATTLE_PROMETHEUS_METRICS`.
