It’s been two months since our migration and I finally got some free…

Briefly, I would say don’t worry about CPU usage unless it’s saturating all cores. don’t worry about RAM usage, worry instead about swap activity. probably start a new thread about DB size growing 10x If your system offers swap activity metrics, use them. If it doesn’t, look for disk activity on …

Gotcha, with a lot of RAM I had read around not to worry too much about SWAP so I created 8GB just to not be totally out of a “safety net” if that makes sense. Can you elaborate a bit further about what I should worry about in terms of swap activity? Anything related to SWAP I could find in the da…

Thanks for the images - I would mostly monitor the top one, the pages per second. If you see sustained activity then you need more memory. Short spikes like we see in your picture are fine. The max figure you have is under 1000, and presumably your system is healthy. So, watch for sustained activit…

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation Ed, much appreciated. I’ll play around with alerts later on so that was really helpful :slight_smile:
