Use these monitoring standards to ensure server health.
Metrics to Capture
| Hardware | Monitors |
|---|---|
| CPU | Usage |
| Memory | Usage |
| Hard Disk | Free space |
| Network | Usage |
Alerts and Thresholds
Analyze each individual use case to determine the correct thresholds for individual environments.
| Hardware | Alerts, Samples, Thresholds |
|---|---|
| CPU | Samples: 5 minute samples Threshold: 90% over 1 hour, 95 over 1 hour Alerts: 90% load is a warning, 95% is critical |
| Memory | Samples: 5 minute samples Threshold: 90% over 1 hour, 95 over 1 hour Alerts: 90% used is a warning, 95% used is critical |
| Hard Disk | Samples: 5 minute samples Threshold: 90% over 1 hour, 95 over 1 hour Alerts: 90% used is a warning, 95% used is critical |
| Network | Samples: 5 minute samples Threshold: 90% over 1 hour, 95 over 1 hour Alerts: 90% load is a warning, 95% is critical |
Strategy for Capture
The metrics are captured by the underlying virtual infrastructure utilizing tools such as vSphere or vRealize Operations.
