Edge application monitoring
By design, we have focused on infrastructure monitoring because, in our opinion, infrastructure plays a major role in IoT/edge solutions. That doesn’t minimize the importance of applications and AI models running on edge devices. While these models and applications seem to have fewer variations, they nevertheless should be monitored.
Similar to NPM, there is application performance monitoring (APM): a process for monitoring the performance of applications. APM is meant to help IT professionals ensure that the deployed applications are performing reliably as designed. In edge computing, real-time APM is critical because it helps you identify issues before they have a major impact on the designed solution. The common metrics that APM tracks are CPU usage, memory usage, disk usage, response times, application uptime, and error rate.
Given that edge computing applications are typically cloud-native and container-based, there are other metrics that...
