Description: Host metrics are data points collected from a server or device that provide crucial information about its performance and status. These metrics can include data on CPU usage, memory, disk, network, and other system resources. By monitoring these metrics, system administrators can identify bottlenecks, performance issues, and trends over time. Host metrics are fundamental for proactive IT infrastructure management, as they allow operations teams to anticipate problems before they affect end users. Additionally, these metrics are essential for capacity planning, helping to determine when resources need to be scaled or upgraded. In the context of visualization tools, host metrics can be graphically represented, making it easier to interpret complex data and make informed decisions. The ability to correlate different metrics on a single dashboard allows IT teams to have a holistic view of their systems’ status, thereby improving operational efficiency and incident response.
