While website monitoring tracks the external user experience, Server Monitoring looks directly under the hood of your host infrastructure. By establishing a secure connection to your cloud instances (like AWS EC2 or DigitalOcean) or on-premise hardware, Veyon monitors the raw computing power and background processes driving your applications.
What it is used for:
- Resource Bottleneck Isolation: Track real-time consumption of CPU, Memory, and Disk space to catch runaway processes before they exhaust server capacity.
- Deep Process & Service Auditing: Keep a constant eye on the critical software layers handling your traffic, such as web servers (
nginx), databases (mysql,redis), and runtimes (php-fpm). - Diagnosing Hidden Slowdowns: Identify high I/O wait times or network throughput spikes that cause slow page loads even when the server technically remains "online."
- Capacity Planning: Analyze historical hardware trends to make informed decisions about when to scale up your server specifications or optimize your database architecture.
Note: You have to install Veyon Agent to work Server Monitoring.
