With a small infrastructure it is easy to fall into one of two extremes: either you watch almost nothing, or you collect too much noise and then do not know what matters. Both approaches are bad.
We see monitoring and alerting as a filter for attention. The idea is not to have as many graphs as possible, but to see in time when something leaves its normal behaviour.
What is usually worth watching
- resource pressure that repeats, not single spikes
- changes in latency and response time
- signals that hint at degradation before a real incident
- alerts that lead to action, not to fatigue

All our VPS services are built around the same engineering approach. If you are looking for real infrastructure rather than just a reseller service, see the VPSStorages plans and infrastructure.
