Linux System Health Metrics and Data Visualization

 

One of the primary problems facing performance engineers and others who work with customer systems is initial assessment of a “performance problem”.  We have over 4700 systems for which we wish to answer that question. To do so, we produced a monitoring repository to house primary performance information. Reports from this repository allow us to quickly assess the reality of a performance problem and help pinpoint the cause. This paper discusses the creation of such a repository, the reports, and what we have learned from the experience.
