<h1>Monitoring</h1>

<p>Capturing and analyzing data about your production environment is critical

to proactively deal with stability, performance, and errors in a web

application.</p>

<p>There are several important resources to monitor on the operating system

and network level of a web stack.</p>

<li>CPU utilization</li>

<li>Memory utilization</li>

<li>Persistence storage consumed versus free</li>

<li>Network bandwidth and latency</li>

</ol>

<p>Application level monitoring encompasses several aspects. The amount of time

and resources dedicated to each aspect will vary based on whether an

application is read-heavy, write-heavy, or subject to rapid swings in traffic.</p>

<li>Application warnings and errors (500-level HTTP errors)</li>

<li>Application code performance</li>

<li>Template rendering time</li>

<li>Browser rendering time for the application</li>

<li>Database querying performance</li>

</ol>
