System Monitoring
Host and service monitoring with actionable alerts, dashboards, and on-call-friendly noise control.
Monitoring should wake humans for real problems, not for trivia. We implement system monitoring for hosts and critical services—metrics, health checks, dashboards, and alert routes—with an emphasis on signal quality and runbook links so alerts are actionable.
