An Introduction to Infrastructure and Application Monitoring

In this series, we explore what metrics and monitoring are and how to best use them to gain visibility into your systems and the responsiveness of your team. Collecting metrics from your infrastructure gives you insight into the health and performance of your systems. Metrics can be used to create dashboards to troubleshoot issues or give a summary of the state of your applications and resources. Alerts can be defined to notify you as soon as situations require your attention.
