Understanding performance monitoring
If we consider the saying “prevention is better than cure” and apply this to server maintenance, we will understand how vital performance monitoring is. Monitoring the server’s performance helps identify server problems at an early stage of occurrence. Then, the appropriate measures can be taken to prevent issues from becoming costly in both time and business.
A clear plan with the right tools is required for effective performance monitoring. That also means setting up a metric by which performance monitoring will be measured. Such a metric needs baseline information that will help evaluate the actual performance of servers, determine when hardware and software upgrades are needed, and assess whether an upgraded system is working better than the previous one.
