Monitoring & Uptime
Uptime Monitoring & Alerting
Watch the platform continuously and get notified the moment something breaks.
Learning objectives
- Choose what to monitor and why
- Configure meaningful alerts
- Understand uptime reporting
What to monitor
- Availability: is the site reachable?
- Performance: response times and resource usage.
- Errors: server logs and application exceptions.
- Security: failed logins, unexpected file changes.
Alerts that matter
Alert fatigue destroys the value of monitoring. Alert on actionable conditions and tune thresholds so that every page to a human has a decision attached to it.
Uptime in practice
High availability is measured over a quarter: 99.9% uptime allows about 43 minutes of downtime per month. Monitoring tells you whether you are meeting the target - and what failed when you did not.
Key takeaways
- Monitor availability, performance, errors, and security.
- Alerts should demand action, not just attention.
- Uptime is a measurable SLA, tracked over time.
