Linux server integration
The Linux server integration monitors the health and performance of Linux servers.
Metrics collected
The integration collects the core host metrics that show server health:
- CPU: Usage, load average, per-core stats
- Memory: Used, available, buffers, cache
- Disk: Usage, I/O, latency, IOPS
- Network: Bandwidth, packets, errors
- Filesystem: Mount points, inodes
- Processes: Running and blocked process counts
What to know
This integration offers:
- Prebuilt dashboards, including fleet overview and host overview. The integration reference lists seven dashboards.
- Prebuilt alerts for high CPU, high memory use, and low free disk space
- Host metrics: CPU, memory, disk, network
- node_exporter (
prometheus.exporter.unix) collects the host metrics
