Overview
The Platform Monitor provides real-time visibility by probing various hardware components on the board and monitoring multiple system resources. Probes are used to collect data from various sub-systems in order to determine the correct functional behavior of each sub-system. When a sub-system is out of spec, you will be alerted of system issues.
The Platform Monitor is available via CLI and standard network configuration/management protocols. Each probe has its own set of unique rules and data sets.
Probe Types
CPU Probe
The CPU probe collects the following data:
- CPU usage in percentage
- CPU load average percentage
Memory Probe
The Memory probe collects:
- Memory usage in percentage
File System Probe
The File System probe collects the percentage of space that is used by the following mounted storage points:
- /tmp
- /etc/accedian
- /etc/accedian/history
Chassis Fan Probe
The Chassis Fan probe collects the following data for each fan:
- Fan ID
