This document is a guideline about which elements you must monitor on your installation to assure service level and proactively detect possible failures before your end customers do.

Monitoring technology

We let you choose your prefered monitoring platform, nowadays most major monitoring technologies have the capability to alert about service outages as well as retrieve and graph performance metrics, so it is up to you to decide which one you will use.

Services to monitor

Next you will find a list of elements to monitor on every server on a distributed installation. We will try to detail both process name, port where the service would be listening and also interesting parameters for which to get metrics values.

Common parameters

The parameters below must be monitored on all platform servers:

CPU usage
RAM usage
Network availability
Filesystem occupation

Abiquo Server

This server would host Abiquo API, UI, websockify and M services, it would also have the queue system RabbitMQ, Redis and MariaDB database.

Service	Parameters
Abiquo API
	abiquo-tomcat service running
	apache tomcat / JVM performance parameters
	port 8009/HTTP listening
	port 8010/AJP listening
	Login service available (`curl -u admin -p xabiquo http://abiquo_server:8009/api/login`)
Abiquo UI
	httpd service running
	Apache web server performance parameters
	port 80/HTTP listening
	port 443/HTTPS listening
	UI service available (`curl http://abiquo_server:80/ui`)
RabbitMQ
	rabbitmq service running
	port 5672/AMPQ listening
	queue status ( `rabbitmqctl list_queues name messages consumers` )
	queue status - Number of messages queued ( increase on this number indicates a global problem )
	queue status - Number of consumers ( Each queue must have at least one connected consumer )
	RabbitMQ performance parameters
Redis
	redis service running
	Port 6379/TCP listening
	Redis performance parameters
MariaDB
	service mysql running
	Port 3306/TCP listening
	MariaDB performance parameters
