CentOS 7 monitoring

Netdata is an open source tool to visualize and monitor in real time the performance of our system, optimized to obtain all kinds of data such as: CPU usage, disk activity, SQL queries, visits to a website, etc.

The tool is designed to visualize the activity in the greatest possible detail, allowing the user to get an overview of what is happening and what has just happened in his system.

Monitoring tools in centOs 7

features

Designed to be installed on each system without interrupting the applications running on it. It works according to the memory requirements specified by the user using only idle CPU cycles. Once the application starts, it will not perform disk I / O beyond registration. The tool is saved to disk at the end of its execution and loaded at startup.

By default it contains certain add-ons that collect key system information but its behavior is extensible through the use of its Add-in API.

Netdata can be run anywhere that runs a Linux kernel and its graphics can be embedded in web pages. It has an interface with customizable themes and can be customized through HTML. There are no dependencies since it works like your own web server with its static web files.
