Chapter 1. Metrics overview
You can set up a third-party solution to collect live metrics from Satellite Server, archive them for a fixed period of time, and analyze them. Obtaining metrics from Satellite is useful for capacity planning and troubleshooting performance issues.
If you need to raise a support case with Red Hat to resolve a performance issue, the archived data provides valuable insight. Note that Red Hat Support can only access the archived data if you upload it to a support case.
You can collect the following metrics from Satellite:
- Basic statistics from the operating system, including system load, memory utilization, and input/output operations
- Process statistics, including memory and CPU utilization
- Apache HTTP Server activity statistics
- PostgreSQL activity statistics
- Satellite application statistics
