Monitoring clusterducks

Because clusterducks provides many fundamental network services, it is important to ensure it is always operational.

The control panel has built-in notifications for specific events:

  • Statistics collection job has not run in the last 10 minutes (UI alert)
  • Tunnel server is unavailable (UI indicator / API data)
  • Server statistics collection fails (email alert / API data)
  • Server statistics collection resumes (email alert / API data)
  • Server CPU load is over threshold

If the control panel's internal statistics job is not running or the SMTP server is unreachable, no email alerts will be sent. For this reason, it is recommended to use external monitoring software that watches the API for issues.
