Node Monitoring

n2x.io offers hassle-free, out-of-the-box monitoring for your nodes.

n2x.io provides a self-developed system that monitors and analyzes various aspects of your computer systems and networks. It delivers real-time and historical data about their performance, usage, and health, allowing administrators or users to make informed decisions and troubleshoot issues.

Resource Monitoring

n2x.io monitors resource utilization of your nodes, including CPU usage, memory utilization, disk I/O, and network bandwidth usage, to identify resource bottlenecks or performance issues.

The current metrics available are:

  • Network Traffic: bandwidth usage (on the n2x interface, in KiB).
  • Load Average: System load average (5 minutes)
  • CPU Usage: Core utilization (%)
  • Memory Usage: RAM utilization (%)
  • Disk Usage: Main disk partition utilization (%)

To access your node metrics:

  1. In the left-hand navigation menu, click Network Topology or Nodes.

  2. Select the node by clicking on it.

  3. Select the Metric section in the menu.

  4. You can view different metrics by clicking on the Network, Load Average, CPU, Memory, and Disk options. Additionally, you can switch between different time periods (e.g., 1 hour, 24 hours, 7 days).
