Systemd is a suite of basic building blocks for a Linux system.
The prerequisite for monitoring Systemd with Netdata is to have Netdata installed on your system.
Netdata auto discovers hundreds of services, and for those it doesn’t turning on manual discovery is a one line configuration. For more information on configuring Netdata for Systemdunits monitoring please read the collector documentation.
You should now see the Systemdunits section on the Overview tab in Netdata Cloud already populated with charts about all the metrics you care about.
Netdata has a public demo space (no login required) where you can explore different monitoring use-cases and get a feel for Netdata.
The service unit state metric measures the state of an individual service unit in Systemd. This metric can be used to identify if the service is active, inactive, activating, deactivating, or has failed. Monitoring the state of service units can provide insight into the health of a system and can alert administrators to potential issues. By tracking service unit states, administrators can take proactive steps to ensure the system is running smoothly and can prevent issues from occurring.
The socket unit state metric measures the state of an individual socket unit in Systemd. This metric can be used to identify if the socket is active, inactive, activating, deactivating, or has failed. Monitoring the state of socket units can provide insight into the health of a system and can alert administrators to potential issues. By tracking socket unit states, administrators can take proactive steps to ensure the system is running smoothly and can prevent issues from occurring.
The target unit state metric measures the state of an individual target unit in Systemd. This metric can be used to identify if the target is active, inactive, activating, deactivating, or has failed. Monitoring the state of target units can provide insight into the health of a system and can alert administrators to potential issues. By tracking target unit states, administrators can take proactive steps to ensure the system is running smoothly and can prevent issues from occurring.
The path unit state metric measures the state of an individual path unit in Systemd. This metric can be used to identify if the path is active, inactive, activating, deactivating, or has failed. Monitoring the state of path units can provide insight into the health of a system and can alert administrators to potential issues. By tracking path unit states, administrators can take proactive steps to ensure the system is running smoothly and can prevent issues from occurring.
The device unit state metric measures the state of an individual device unit in Systemd. This metric can be used to identify if the device is active, inactive, activating, deactivating, or has failed. Monitoring the state of device units can provide insight into the health of a system and can alert administrators to potential issues. By tracking device unit states, administrators can take proactive steps to ensure the system is running smoothly and can prevent issues from occurring.
The mount unit state metric measures the state of an individual mount unit in Systemd. This metric can be used to identify if the mount is active, inactive, activating, deactivating, or has failed. Monitoring the state of mount units can provide insight into the health of a system and can alert administrators to potential issues. By tracking mount unit states, administrators can take proactive steps to ensure the system is running smoothly and can prevent issues from occurring.
The automount unit state metric measures the state of an individual automount unit in Systemd. This metric can be used to identify if the automount is active, inactive, activating, deactivating, or has failed. Monitoring the state of automount units can provide insight into the health of a system and can alert administrators to potential issues. By tracking automount unit states, administrators can take proactive steps to ensure the system is running smoothly and can prevent issues from occurring.
The swap unit state metric measures the state of an individual swap unit in Systemd. This metric can be used to identify if the swap is active, inactive, activating, deactivating, or has failed. Monitoring the state of swap units can provide insight into the health of a system and can alert administrators to potential issues. By tracking swap unit states, administrators can take proactive steps to ensure the system is running smoothly and can prevent issues from occurring.
The timer unit state metric measures the state of an individual timer unit in Systemd. This metric can be used to identify if the timer is active, inactive, activating, deactivating, or has failed. Monitoring the state of timer units can provide insight into the health of a system and can alert administrators to potential issues. By tracking timer unit states, administrators can take proactive steps to ensure the system is running smoothly and can prevent issues from occurring.
The scope unit state metric measures the state of an individual scope unit in Systemd. This metric can be used to identify if the scope is active, inactive, activating, deactivating, or has failed. Monitoring the state of scope units can provide insight into the health of a system and can alert administrators to potential issues. By tracking scope unit states, administrators can take proactive steps to ensure the system is running smoothly and can prevent issues from occurring.
The slice unit state metric measures the state of an individual slice unit in Systemd. This metric can be used to identify if the slice is active, inactive, activating, deactivating, or has failed. Monitoring the state of slice units can provide insight into the health of a system and can alert administrators to potential issues. By tracking slice unit states, administrators can take proactive steps to ensure the system is running smoothly and can prevent issues from occurring.
