What This Dashboard Monitors
This dashboard tracks essential host system metrics to help you:
- Monitor System Resources: Track CPU and memory usage across hosts.
- Disk Performance: Monitor disk I/O operations, usage, and performance metrics.
- Network Activity: Observe network traffic, bandwidth utilization, errors, and internet connections.
- Filesystem Management: Monitor disk space usage, available capacity, and filesystem health.
Metrics Included
Overview Section
- CPU Used: Current CPU utilization value.
- Memory Used (Excluding cache/buffer): Current memory consumption.
Resources Section
- CPU Usage Chart: Real-time CPU utilization breakdown by type.
- Memory Usage Chart: Memory consumption breakdown by type.
System Section
- System Load Average: System load averages over 1min, 5min, and 15min intervals.
Network Section
- Network Usage (Bytes): Network traffic in bytes for transmit and receive operations.
- Network Usage (Packet/s): Network traffic in packets per second.
- Network Errors: Network error rates and failed transmissions.
- Network Drops: Dropped network packets.
- Network Connections: Active network connections by protocol and state.
Disk Section
- System Disk I/O (Bytes Transferred): Data transfer rates for read and write operations.
- System Disk Operations/s: Disk operations per second.
- Queue Size: Disk I/O queue size.
- Disk Operations Time: Time taken for disk operations.
Filesystem Section
- File System Usage Table: Tabular view showing device, mountpoint, state, and filesystem type.
- File System Inode Usage Table: Inode utilization showing device, mountpoint, state, and type.
Dashboard Variables
This dashboard includes pre-configured variables for filtering:
- host.name: Filter by specific host names
Next Steps
- Set Alerts: Configure alerts for high CPU, memory usage, or disk space to ensure system reliability.
