The Linux boxes running your databases, web apps, and back-office almost never get the attention the Windows fleet does — until one quietly fills its disk or pegs its load and takes an app down. We bring real observability to Linux so those servers stop flying blind.
What we actually watch
A ping only tells you a box is powered on. Our monitoring stack watches the things that actually predict failure.
- Services and daemons — the database, the web server, the queue worker, the cron jobs. We alert on the process itself, so a dead service pages us even while the host still looks fine.
- Disk and inode usage — the classic Linux outage is a partition that fills silently. We track usage trends and warn you with room to act, and we watch inodes too, because a disk can run out of those while showing free space.
- CPU, memory, and load — sustained load average against core count, memory pressure, swap thrash. We separate a busy server from a sick one.
- Process health — restarts, runaway processes, zombies, and the children that should be running but aren't.
- Log patterns — we watch for the error signatures that show up before a failure, so a flood of stack traces or OOM-killer messages pages us early.
NOC discipline, applied to Linux
The same NOC discipline you'd expect for any critical system, applied to the Linux infrastructure that usually gets left out of it. Alerts route to on-call engineers who triage and act on them.
We tune thresholds to your workload, so a database that always runs hot doesn't page someone every night, and a server that shouldn't be hot does. Every page should mean something. When something does break at 2 a.m., a human is already looking at it.
Most of what we catch never becomes an incident. We catch the slow degradation — the disk creeping toward full, the memory leak that grows over days, the service that's been silently failing one health check in ten — before it's an outage. Whether your Linux servers sit in a rack, a data center, or the cloud, across the New York Metro and the Puget Sound Area, we keep them in view.
If a Linux server going down would ruin your week, it shouldn't be the one system nobody's watching.
