Monitoring FAQ#

What is the difference between Warning and Alert levels?#

  • Warning: Indicates a metric has crossed an initial caution threshold (e.g., 80% RAM usage).

  • Alert: Indicates a critical threshold has been reached (e.g., 95% RAM usage or stopped service), triggering configured notification channels.

How do Grace Periods prevent false alarms?#

Grace periods temporarily pause or buffer alert generation after configuration updates or server releases, giving hosts and agents time to synchronize metrics.

Can I monitor specific listening ports or systemd services?#

Yes. You can configure whitelisted ports and required systemd services globally or per agent. If an unlisted port opens or a required service stops, an incident is logged immediately.
