IoT solution monitoring
Monitoring systems are critical components in any large-scale and production-grade IoT solution. You need a centralized monitoring solution (a single pane of glass) that tells you everything you need to know about the different IoT solution operations and performance. Such monitoring systems help in the following:
- IoT solution troubleshooting activities.
- Real-time alerting for issues that occur, which will enable you to quickly respond to those issues that are triggered.
- Proactively identifying the trends and anomalies from the IoT solution logs, traces, and metrics. This is where IoT solution monitoring systems help in securing IoT solutions.
Before we go further with the typical monitoring system architecture that you could use for your IoT solution, we need to first understand the following concepts:
- Metrics are data points that can easily be quantified. Metrics are things such as system metrics (that is, CPU, memory, disk utilization...
