The monitoring system has been deployed to efficiently monitor IT infrastructure and EPICS control system at SuperKEKB. The system monitors two types of data: metrics and logs. Metrics such as network traffic and CPU usage are monitored with Zabbix. In addition, we developed an EPICS Channel Access client application that sends PV values to Zabbix server and the status of each IOC is monitored with it. The archived data in Zabbix are visualized on Grafana, which allows us to easily create

We apply it to monitor broadcast packets in the control network and the frequency of Channel Access search for each PV. Moreover, a Grafana plugin is developed to visualize the data from pvAccess RPC servers and various data such as CSS alarm status data can be displayed on it.
