Farm monitoring
Farm monitoring provides metrics to give insight into events while a farm is running.
Those events can help to identify unusual situations that, without investigation and
correction might develop into issues. Monitoring is on by default but can be switched off in
the widget. Switching off monitoring
stops monitoring of all services in a farm.
Farm monitoring has these diagnostic commands associated with it:
- monitoring-enable
- monitoring-disable
- monitoring-start
- monitoring-stop
- monitoring-status
- monitoring-metrics
Metrics are grouped into these collector types, according to the frequency which their values change:
- VeryFast: 1 minute
- Fast: 5 minutes
- Moderate: 30 minutes
- Slow: 1 hour
- VerySlow: 1 day
The monitoring-metrics diagnostic command lists all metrics within a collector type, which you specify as an argument of the command.
