DigitalOcean Releases Free Monitoring Service so Developers Can Easily Optimize Application Performance

Bengaluru, April 5  : US-based Cloud infrastructure provider DigitalOcean on Wednesday launched a monitoring service that provides insight into the resource utilisation and operational health of every Droplet (Cloud server).

Developers can collect and visualise metrics in graphs, monitor Droplet performance and receive alerts in one intuitive interface, with no configuration required.

"In the coming year, we'll continue to move our Monitoring service forward and introduce new capabilities for high availability, data storage, security and networking to manage larger production workloads," said Julia Austin, CTO of DigitalOcean. 

The monitoring service measures each Droplet's CPU, memory, disk utilisation, disk reads and writes, network traffic and top processes.

Metrics are collected at one-minute intervals and the data is retained to enable users to view both up-to-the-minute and historical data.
