Core signals
Track availability, CPU and memory pressure, storage, network loss and latency, service state, integration health and error trends.
Actionable alerting
Alerts need ownership, severity, thresholds and escalation. Too many unactionable alerts are operational noise.
Capacity trending
Use historical peaks and growth trends to trigger scaling work before saturation becomes an incident.
Signals worth monitoring continuously
Availability
Track service state, connection health and regional access success from more than one vantage point.
Capacity
Monitor CPU, memory, storage latency, network throughput and connection counts against known baselines.
Trading path
Watch quote freshness, bridge connectivity and external endpoint health so failures are localized quickly.
Operations
Alert on backup failures, certificate expiry, unusual admin access and configuration drift where applicable.
