# Monitor Overview

Scalar Manager is a centralized management and monitoring solution for ScalarDL within Kubernetes cluster environments that allows you to:

- Check the availability of ScalarDL.
- Schedule or execute pausing jobs that create transactionally consistent periods in the databases used by ScalarDL.
- Check the time-series metrics and logs of ScalarDL through Grafana dashboards.

:::note

ScalarDL uses ScalarDB for its data management and the Function feature, so you may experience a case where you're using both ScalarDL and ScalarDB in your deployment. In such a case, you may also want to monitor ScalarDB in addition to ScalarDL.

:::

## Deploy Scalar Manager

You can deploy Scalar Manager by using a Helm Chart.

For details on how to deploy Scalar Manager, see [Deploy Scalar Manager](./helm-charts/getting-started-scalar-manager.md).
