Application Health metrics in Prometheus format
We would like to inform you that a new version 4.3.2 of the application has been released. It has a new feature added: providing application health metrics via endpoint /health/?format=prometheus, which allows to integrate it with well known application health monitoring and alerting platforms such as NetData and Grafana. Now you can deploy either NetData or Grafana or both and get email notifications when unexpected behaviour of the application is detected:
- Idako instance is not running,
- it is disconnected from some OPC UA Server,
- variables stop being updated,
- connection with the destination time-series database is lost,
- local buffer reaches its maximum size limit.
Combined with High Availability feature that was added in version 4.2.0, health monitoring increases relailability of Idako, making sure that no data is lost.
More details about monitoring Idako health can be found on these blog posts:
