Device Metrics

Describes how to enable, disable, and use metrics to describe services' trends and current performance.

You can enable and configure Roving Edge Infrastructure to generate metrics on device performance and health regarding block volume storage. These metrics are taken from the Roving Edge Infrastructure services and are placed in an InfluxDB 1.8 or later database that you must acquire and set up on a dedicated host database server. This machine can be co-located with your other computer hardware in your Roving Edge Infrastructure environment, or remotely if you have a working internet connection.

After your InfluxDB database is running you must configure and enable your Roving Edge Infrastructure devices to send data. You can subsequently review the metrics data by accessing the InfluxDB database.

Note

You are responsible for maintaining the InfluxDB database.
