How to monitor server load

We often hear the term "load" used to describe the state of a server or a device. But what does it really mean? System load is a measure of the amount of computational work that a system performs. An overloaded system, by definition, isn't able to complete all its tasks per schedule - this affects the performance and productivity of the system. And while "load" often gets conflated with CPU usage there's a lot more to it.

PostgreSQL Monitoring Upgrade

Netdata for PostgreSQL monitoring just got a huge upgrade, collecting 100+ PostgreSQL metrics and displaying these across 60+ different composite charts. You can check the reference documentation for the full list of metrics, and see them running live in the demo space. If you are using PostgreSQL in production, it is crucial that you monitor it for potential issues. And the more comprehensive the monitoring the better!

How Netdata's machine learning works

In this video we will walk though the Netdata Anomaly Advisor deepdive python notebook. The aim of this notebook is to explain, in detail, how the unsupervised anomaly detection in the Netdata agent actually works under the hood. No buzzwords, no magic, no mystery :) Try it for yourself, get started by signing in to Netdata and connecting a node. Once initial models have been trained (usually after the agent has about one hour of data, zero configuration needed), you'll be able to start exploring in the Anomaly Advisor tab of Netdata.

Netdata Agent release v1.35

The latest Netdata Agent release v1.35 introduces massive improvements for the machine learning-powered Anomaly Advisor, Metric Correlations, Kubernetes monitoring, and much more. Anomaly Advisor & on-device Machine Learning This release features a launch of the flagship machine learning (ML) assisted troubleshooting Anomaly Advisor. Unsupervised ML models are trained for every metric, at the edge, on your devices, enabling real-time anomaly detection across all your systems and applications.
