Server Monitoring
What is server monitoring?
When deploying compute resources (bare-metal, VPSes or more abstract work units) you will have to manage a living system. This system will
always have the following characteristics:
- Limited ressources: the amounts of RAM and CPU cycles, network bandwidth as well as storage space are neither infinite nor free.
- Evolving requirements: depending on how you use your services, how many concurrent users you have you might need more or less ressources than what you initially purchased
- Nominal operating parameters: range of RAM and CPU use, temperatures and so on in which your service performs as expected
The first item is fixed and only linked to your financial constraints.
