Snaplex monitoring and best practices

How Snaplex monitoring works

Snaplex monitoring involves real-time tracking of resource usage and system performance. This includes monitoring CPU and memory usage, disk space, and network I/O to ensure that nodes are operating within acceptable parameters.

Alerts are generated when predefined thresholds are exceeded. For example, an alert might be triggered if CPU usage exceeds 80% for a sustained period. These alerts help administrators take timely actions to prevent potential issues.

Diagnostic tools analyze the health of Snaplex nodes and generate reports that highlight any issues or potential areas of concern. These reports can include information on system resource usage, network connectivity, and other critical parameters.

By monitoring Snaplex health and running diagnostics, administrators can perform proactive maintenance to address issues before they impact performance. This includes tasks such as upgrading hardware, optimizing configurations, and scaling resources.

Best practices for Snaplex monitoring

  • Schedule regular health checks to ensure that all Snaplex nodes are functioning optimally. Use the health check endpoints provided by Snaplex for this purpose.
  • Configure alerts based on resource usage thresholds. Set appropriate thresholds for CPU, memory, disk space, and network I/O to detect and address potential issues early.
  • Run comprehensive diagnostics periodically to identify and resolve issues related to system resources, network connectivity, and other critical parameters. Use the diagnostic reports to guide maintenance and optimization efforts.
