Atlassian tools monitoring best practice

[Sam]

Hi,

I'm looking for some solution to monitor all Atlassian tools (server version on AWS).

Could you please share with me which tools you are using to be notified about tools problems.

Thank you

Sam

@Sam , Big question. I think you need to narrow it down a bit on what you are looking to monitor. Are you looking for something simple like "is my server up or down?" or complex like gauging user experience?

We use PRTG for server basics although I have used Nagios and Solarwinds in the past.

We also monitor Issue create times through log analysis with Splunk.

Static object like the number of custom fields, we use SQL and Tableau to build out dashboards.

There are a lot of tools available you need to approach it by asking what problem am I trying to solve?

As a start point, I was thinking about simple notification if service is available for users and they can log in to the application.
I will also check the tools you mentioned. Thanks for sharing.

@Sam , for something simple like that, find a free tool - there are several out there. Get you feet wet and once you have some experience you can look into a paid option.

Hi @Peter DeWitt

I want to get to know PRTG but as there are a lot of options what to monitor, I would like to monitor the necessary things in order to keep it mostly clean. What would you suggest?

I would start with the basics, CPU utilization, Memory Utilization, HDD free space.
