Monitoring Carbonio

This section provides an overview of monitoring in Carbonio and explains how to observe, manage, and troubleshoot a Carbonio infrastructure using built-in monitoring components, log files, and command-line tools.

Overview

Monitoring is the process of continuously observing the health, performance, and status of a system over time by collecting and analysing metrics and logs. Effective monitoring is essential to ensure reliability, quickly detect and resolve issues, and optimise performance.

Carbonio includes native monitoring components and integrations that allow administrators to track system behaviour, inspect log files, manage critical services such as the MTA, and enable alerting and notifications. A properly functioning Carbonio infrastructure relies on several core services, including Directory Server, Consul and PostgreSQL, all of which contribute to system observability.
