What is Linux Server SP Agent?
The Linux SP Agent is a C++ software tool designed to monitor performance metrics for several Linux server distributions. It provides real-time insights into server performance, helping administrators to identify and resolve issues quickly.
The Linux SP Agent supports a variety of Linux distributions, including:
- RedHat
- CentOS
- Fedora
- Ubuntu
- Debian and more
By using the Linux SP Agent, administrators can ensure their servers are running optimally, prevent downtime, and improve overall system performance.
How to monitor Linux Servers with SP Agent?
ServicePilot makes it easy to monitor Linux Servers requiring only the installation of a ServicePilot Agent along with minimal configuration on the target Linux server. A resource of the server-linux-sp-agent package then needs to be added via the ServicePilot web interface.
The monitoring statistics gathered in this way include:
- System: CPU and Memory utilization, global network and disk IOs
- Storage: detailed filesystem utilization
- Network: detailed interface status and utilization
- Applicative: running processes and related resource consumption
