Node OS Monitoring
The Prometheus agent is configured to report numerous node-exporter metrics. Below is a YAML-based rule set that Catapult uses for CPU, Memory, Filesystem, network, and Disk alerts. Each notification includes alert names, expression, timeframe, labels with severity and type, and annotations which contain a summary and description of the alarms.
Note:
Code blocks having more than 100 lines are automatically collapsed. To expand the code. click the arrow > to the right of the code, or the ... after the code in the block.
