How can Linux servers' queue length and depth be monitored?
I was asked to monitor queue length/depth on Linux servers, and I was not able to locate the relevant datasource that could monitor queue length/depth. Your assistance will be much appreciated.
Hi @Rakzskull , it doesn’t look like we have anything out of the box for this. How would you monitor queue length/depth? I just did some quick googling and found a command that may work to get you the average queue depth size on Linux machines.
Based off this command :
iostat -xdc 60 1
There are 2 datapoints
avgrq-sz
avgqu-sz
Would this be what you are looking for? You could write a SSH datasource that polls every minute for this data . I gave a glance to see if this was available via SNMP and it looks like its not but I could have missed something. Once we are able to narrow down the data, we can certainly bring it in to the platform
