Welcome to the Monitoring documentation section. Effective monitoring is crucial for maintaining system health, performance, and reliability. Below are key resources and practices to help you get started:
📌 Key Monitoring Concepts
- Real-time metrics: Track CPU, memory, and network usage with tools like Prometheus or Grafana.
- Log analysis: Use ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) for centralized logging and query management.
- Alerting: Configure notifications for critical thresholds using tools like PagerDuty or Opsgenie.
🛠️ Popular Monitoring Tools
| Tool | Description | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Prometheus | Open-source time-series database | Metrics collection |
| Grafana | Visualization platform | Dashboard creation |
| New Relic | Cloud-based monitoring service | Application performance |
| Datadog | Unified observability platform | Infrastructure & services |
📚 Best Practices
- Implement continuous monitoring for all critical components.
- Use automated alerts to avoid manual check delays.
- Regularly audit logs for security and troubleshooting.
- Combine metrics, logs, and traces for holistic insights.
