Metrics are the primary material processed by monitoring systems to build a cohesive view of the systems being tracked. In this guide, we will start by discussing a popular framework used to identify the most critical metrics to track. Afterwards, we will walk through how those indicators can be applied to components throughout your deployment. This will focus on the fundamental resources of individual servers at first and then adjust the scope to cover increasingly larger areas of concern.
