Monitor platform servers

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 preferred 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.
