|---|---|---|---|
| System Performance Metrics – Overview (MetricsHub) | Global system dashboard providing a consolidated view of system health and current issues across all monitored hosts. | Aggregated indicators across hosts, including alerts, protocol health, resource utilization (CPU, memory, storage, network), and OS distribution. | Use for situational awareness and triage. Ideal to quickly identify unhealthy systems and prioritize investigation across the infrastructure. |
| System Performance Metrics (MetricsHub) | Host-level dashboard providing detailed performance metrics, protocol health, and system metadata for a selected host. | Detailed per-host metrics, including CPU, memory, filesystem, disk, and network utilization, along with protocol performance (availability, response times) and system metadata. | Use for troubleshooting and root cause analysis. Ideal to investigate a specific host and analyze performance issues in depth. |
