Effective monitoring and troubleshooting are critical for maintaining the performance and reliability of Atlassian products like Jira and Confluence and software configuration management (SCM) tools like Bitbucket. This article explores leveraging various monitoring tools to identify, diagnose, and resolve issues in these essential development and collaboration platforms.
Before we discuss the monitoring tools, let's clarify the importance of monitoring.
Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) stands out as a virtualization technology in the world of Linux. It allows physical servers to serve as hypervisor hosting machines (VMs). Embedded within the Linux kernel, KVM empowers the creation of VMs with their virtualized hardware components, such as CPUs, memory, storage, and network cards, essentially mimicking a machine. This deep integration into the Linux kernel brings KVM's performance, security, and stability advantages, making it a dependable option for virtualization requirements.
KVM functions as a type 1 hypervisor, delivering performance similar to hardware—an edge over type 2 hypervisors. Its scalability is another feature; it can dynamically adapt to support an increasing number of VMs, facilitating the implementation of cloud infrastructures. Security remains paramount for KVM due to testing and security updates from the open-source community. Additionally, its standing development history since 2006 ensures a stable virtualization platform.
When it comes to IT Infrastructure, there are several components that play a vital role in a successful deployment, storage is one such component and it plays a crucial role in keeping the data safe and secure. Understanding different types of storage configurations is important and today we will discuss how we can achieve redundancy and performance by using RAID arrays. RAID stands for Redundant Array of Inexpensive/Independent Disks and RAID supports various types of configuration and in this article, we will focus on hardware RAID10 setup on DELL servers and if you are new to RAID and would like to learn more about it please go through this information.
Boot the server and wait until you see the option to enter into RAID configuration <Ctrl + R> and once you enter into the configuration menu navigate through VD mgmt and PD mgmt screens and look for the available physical disks on the server.
