Server monitoring is the process of keeping an eye on a computer or a server that stores and manages data or runs websites and applications. It’s like checking the health of the server to make sure it’s working properly.
In simple terms, server monitoring involves watching things like:
1.β β Performance: How fast the server is running.
2.β β Uptime: Whether the server is online and accessible.
3.β β Resources: How much memory, storage, and processing power the server is using.
4.β β Errors: If anything goes wrong, like crashes or issues with the server.
Most Common Data Monitoring tools are: Nagios, Zabbix, and Prometheus.
