As we move towards expanding from basic uptime tracking to a comprehensive monitoring solution, we're interested in getting insights from the community.
For those of you managing server infrastructure,
- What are the key assets you monitor beyond the basics like CPU, RAM, and disk usage?
- Do you also keep tabs on network performance, processes, services, or other metrics?
Additionally, we're debating whether to build a custom monitoring agent or leverage existing solutions like OpenTelemetry or Fluentd.
- What’s your take—would you trust a simple, bespoke agent, or would you feel more secure with a well-established solution?
- Lastly, what’s your preference for data collection—do you prefer an agent that pulls data or one that pushes it to the monitoring system?
