Distinction Between Monitoring and Metrics
Monitoring and metrics serve different purposes in system management. Monitoring, such as with Nagios, focuses on whether a system is functioning correctly, essentially asking if it is working or not. In contrast, metrics tools like NetData provide detailed insights into how well the system operates, offering performance data such as latency and resource utilization over time. Understanding this distinction is crucial for effectively troubleshooting performance issues, as it allows administrators to assess not just whether an application is running, but also to investigate the underlying factors affecting its performance.
