Linux (RedHat, Suse) Monitoring

Features for Linux

Germain is configured to monitor the uptime and performance of Linux servers. To access this information, Germain utilizes either a Germain UX Engine(s) or Germain UX Agent(s) that establish an SSH connection to the monitored system at regular intervals and execute a series of commands. These commands help gather critical data for monitoring and analysis, including:

System Uptime

Monitor the duration of system uptime, which indicates the availability and stability of the Linux server.

CPU Usage

Monitor the CPU utilization of the server to assess the overall system load and identify any potential bottlenecks or high resource consumption.

Memory Usage

Monitor the memory usage of the server to ensure efficient utilization and identify any memory-related issues or constraints.

Disk Space

Monitor the available disk space on the server's storage devices to ensure sufficient space for application data and system operations.

Network Connectivity

Monitor the network connectivity of the server to ensure uninterrupted communication and identify any network-related issues or performance degradation.

System Processes

Monitor the running processes on the server to identify any anomalies, excessive resource consumption, or potential performance bottlenecks.

System Logs

Monitor the system logs for errors, warnings, and other relevant information that can help diagnose issues and ensure the smooth operation of the Linux server.

Service Status

Monitor the status of critical services running on the server to ensure their availability and identify any service-related issues or failures.

By monitoring these aspects of Linux servers, Germain provides valuable insights into the uptime, performance, and health of the Linux environment. This allows for proactive monitoring, timely issue detection, and efficient troubleshooting, ensuring optimal performance and stability of the Linux servers.

Configure

In order to access this information, a Germain UX Engine(s) or Germain UX Agent(s) establishes an SSH connection to the monitored system periodically and execute a series of commands:

Each of these commands can be individually configured and also disabled, if for some reason it is undesirable to collect any one of the OS metrics.
