Improved Resource Utilisation Monitoring and Alerting System: A Requested Feature
Hello Everyone,
I want to start by saying thank you to the Cloudways platform. It is impressive how simple it makes handling intricate server configurations, and it has made a big difference in my workflow. However, I've identified a few areas, particularly in alerting and monitoring for resource utilisation, where I think some significant improvements may be made.
Although the presently available monitoring tools offer fundamental insights into servers metrics, I believe they could be improved, especially with regard to real-time resource utilisation monitoring (CPU, RAM, disc I/O, etc.). For instance, there have been times when the CPU use of my server rises out of nowhere, causing slowdowns or even outages. On the other hand, promptly notified or a thorough explanation of the potential causes of the problem are not always provided by the existing system.
I think the following ideas could be very helpful to users:
Advanced Alerts: A feature that allows you to customise thresholds for different indicators (such CPU utilisation above 85%) and get real-time notifications through SMS, email, or third-party apps like Slack.
Detailed Analytics: A more in-depth analytics panel that provides insights and historical data trends, enabling users to spot patterns and possible bottlenecks over time.
Process-Level Monitoring: The capacity to keep an eye on certain server processes or apps in order to get a better idea of what might be suddenly eating resources.
Integrated Auto-Scaling Suggestions: Advice and recommendations derived from resource usage statistics that assist users in determining whether to increase or decrease their server capacity.

I'd like to know if this would also be helpful to other users and the Cloudways team. What other features or upgrades would you like to see what's in this area?
Thank you in advance.
