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: fleet overview and host detail
- Prebuilt alerts: CPU, memory, disk thresholds
- Comprehensive host metrics: CPU, memory, disk, network
- Industry-standard node_exporter under the hood
