bookSystem Metrics Collection

Monitoring system metrics is a foundational practice in DevOps, as it enables you to understand the health and performance of your infrastructure. The most common system metrics include CPU usage, memory consumption, and disk usage. These metrics provide insight into how resources are being utilized, help identify potential bottlenecks, and allow you to proactively address issues before they impact users or services. By regularly collecting and analyzing these metrics, you ensure that your systems remain reliable, scalable, and cost-effective.

# Simulate system metrics collection with hardcoded values cpu_usage_percent = 68.5 # Simulated CPU usage in percent memory_total_gb = 16 memory_used_gb = 10.2 disk_total_gb = 512 disk_used_gb = 300 metrics = { "CPU Usage (%)": cpu_usage_percent, "Memory Used (GB)": memory_used_gb, "Memory Total (GB)": memory_total_gb, "Disk Used (GB)": disk_used_gb, "Disk Total (GB)": disk_total_gb } print(metrics)

When you monitor CPU, memory, and disk usage, you gain actionable data that can drive operational decisions. For example, consistently high CPU usage may indicate the need to optimize applications or scale up resources. Tracking memory consumption can help you spot memory leaks or inefficient processes. Monitoring disk usage ensures that you have enough storage for logs, backups, and application data, preventing outages caused by full disks. Each of these metrics can trigger alerts, inform capacity planning, and guide resource allocation, making them essential for maintaining system health in a DevOps environment.
