Akamai Global Traffic Management (GTM) is a high-performance load balancing and failover solution used to manage and route internet traffic. By dynamically distributing traffic across various nodes or data centers, Akamai GTM optimizes the traffic flow and enhances the performance and reliability of web applications.
To monitor Akamai Global Traffic Management effectively, Netdata utilizes an open metrics (Prometheus) exporter. This approach allows Netdata to ingest data from any Prometheus exporter, providing users with automated dashboards, alerts, and insights, all without the necessity of running a standalone Prometheus server or Grafana. With Netdata, the entire process becomes seamless, allowing for real-time visibility and alerting of your Akamai GTM infrastructure.
Monitoring Akamai GTM is crucial for maintaining optimal load balancing and ensuring high availability. Identifying potential issues in real-time helps prevent bottlenecks and downtime, a necessity for maintaining customer confidence and operational efficiency. Continuous monitoring enables proactive measures, thus ensuring that your network can handle varying loads with grace and proficiency.
Using tools for monitoring Akamai GTM like Netdata offers a plethora of benefits. You get instant and insightful visualizations through user-friendly dashboards. Real-time monitoring enables quick troubleshooting and problem resolution, reducing mean time to repair (MTTR). Moreover, with configurable alerts, you are always informed of critical changes in your traffic patterns or system performance.
