Real-Time Graphs of System Performance
With Linode's monitoring solution, you can easily analyze real-time performance graphs of your Linodes. This feature allows you to track your system's performance both currently and historically, giving you valuable insights into when to scale up or down for optimal application performance. By having access to these performance metrics, you can make informed decisions about resource allocation and capacity planning.
Set Custom Threshold Notifications
One key aspect of Linode's monitoring system is the ability to set custom threshold notifications. These alerts notify you when you are approaching resource limits that you have predefined. This proactive monitoring helps you stay ahead of potential issues and ensures that you can scale your resources in a timely manner. By receiving notifications before reaching resource limits, you can avoid downtime and performance degradation, keeping your applications running smoothly.
Automatic Reboots with the Shutdown Watchdog
Linode's Shutdown Watchdog feature, also fondly known as 'Lassie,' offers automatic reboot capabilities for your Linode instances. If your Linode unexpectedly powers off, the Shutdown Watchdog will automatically reboot it, getting your server back online without any manual intervention. This ensures that your services stay online and minimizes any potential downtime. The Shutdown Watchdog is a valuable tool for ensuring the high availability of your applications hosted on Linode's infrastructure.
