We are introducing a powerful new feature in FlexDeploy 10.0: Health Monitoring. This capability gives your team real-time visibility into the operational health of your FlexDeploy environment. Consequently, it helps you identify and resolve issues before they impact your delivery pipelines.
Two Key Features of Health Monitoring
Health Monitoring provides two primary components to improve operational oversight: intuitive dashboard panels and a customizable alert system.
Intuitive Dashboard Panels and a New Default Dashboard
First, Health Monitoring includes a set of user-friendly dashboard panels and a new default dashboard. These tools act as a single pane of glass, offering a clear view of your FlexDeploy platform’s performance and the health of its underlying virtual machines.
Furthermore, these dashboards deliver actionable insights at a glance, covering everything from system resource utilization to service availability. This empowers your team to make informed decisions quickly.
The feature includes numerous new panels, several of which are shown here.
Customizable Alert System
In addition to the dashboards, Health Monitoring introduces a robust alert system. Administrators can define thresholds and then configure both email and in-app notifications to stay ahead of potential issues.
For example, you can set alerts for high CPU usage or low disk space. This ensures your team addresses resource concerns before they disrupt critical processes. To facilitate this, pre-built templates for common metrics make setup fast and easy. For more specific requirements, custom configurations let you tailor alerts to your unique needs. You can also choose which users or groups receive these alerts, thereby ensuring the right people are always informed.
What’s Included in Health Monitoring?
FlexDeploy 10.0’s Health Monitoring feature provides a comprehensive set of tools to keep your environment running smoothly. Specifically, it includes:
- System Resource Metrics: Monitor CPU, memory, and disk utilization for FlexDeploy servers to prevent resource bottlenecks.
- Database Connectivity and Performance: Track database health, query performance, and connection stability to ensure seamless operations.
- Alerts and Notifications: Configure thresholds and receive real-time alerts when metrics exceed acceptable ranges, which enables proactive intervention.
Why Health Monitoring Matters
Ultimately, Health Monitoring delivers significant benefits to your team and your FlexDeploy environment.
- Proactive Issue Resolution: It allows you to detect and fix problems before they disrupt deployments or impact users.
- Operational Transparency: Moreover, you gain confidence knowing your FlexDeploy environment is healthy and ready for action.
- Simplified Troubleshooting: Finally, you can quickly identify root causes with detailed health metrics and logs, saving considerable time and effort.
