**Result:** The Prometheus server will be deployed as well as two monitoring applications. The two monitoring applications, `cluster-monitoring` and `monitoring-operator`, are added as an [application]({{<baseurl>}}/rancher/v2.x/en/catalog/apps/) to the cluster's `system` project. After the applications are `active`, you can start viewing [cluster metrics]({{<baseurl>}}/rancher/v2.x/en/cluster-admin/tools/monitoring/cluster-metrics/) through the [Rancher dashboard]({{<baseurl>}}/rancher/v2.x/en/cluster-admin/tools/monitoring/viewing-metrics/#rancher-dashboard) or directly from [Grafana]({{<baseurl>}}/rancher/v2.x/en/cluster-admin/tools/monitoring/#grafana).
