Hardware Monitoring in Cloud Environments

Hardware monitoring in cloud environments encompasses the surveillance of various components to ensure optimal performance and prevent potential issues. Key aspects of hardware monitoring include the following:

Disk monitoring: Continuous tracking of disk performance, usage, and health. Monitoring tools assess factors such as disk I/O operations, available storage space, and potential disk failures, ensuring reliable storage operations.
CPU monitoring: Real-time monitoring of CPU utilization, processing speed, and overall performance. This helps identify resource bottlenecks, optimize workload distribution, and ensure efficient utilization of computational power.
Fan speed monitoring: Monitoring the speed of system fans is crucial to prevent overheating. Deviations in fan speed can indicate potential cooling issues, and monitoring tools trigger alerts to address temperature regulation and prevent hardware damage.
