Can you recommend any useful metrics to monitoring (Jira/Confluence)?

[Alexander Bondarev]

Hello! 

We have Jira Software and Confluence, we have a task of creating cool monitoring with Zabbix and Grafana. 

Of course, we plan to control basic system metrics, such as:

1. HTTP-Availability;
2. Database Size;
3. Disk Space;
4. CPU and Memory Usage;
5. Etc.

We also want to get an idea of useful custom metrics: 

1. Count of Active Users(with licences);
2. Count of fields;
3. Count of schemes(issue type, workflow, screen schemes, issue type screen schemes, etc.);
4. Usage of app's macroses on Confluence(from paid apps).

What metrics do you keep under control? 

Can you recommend the most interesting or maybe just ideas for what to control in Jira Software and Confluence?

Hi Alexander

an overview of how the garbace collections are doing (duration etc.) as well as the jvm heap usage are interesting options.

JMX provides a bunch of the information (especially if you look into trend monitoring) that can be used as well (index etc)

The page also provides some input
