Metrics

Track resource usage and service health with clear, actionable metrics in the Nouva dashboard.

What you can monitor

Metrics help you understand performance trends and spot issues before they impact users. The metrics view focuses on signal over noise, surfacing what matters most for running services.

  • CPU and memory utilization for app and worker services.
  • Restart counts and uptime indicators for stability tracking.
  • Database resource usage and storage growth trends.

Use metrics to scale

Combine metrics with deployment history to decide when to scale or tune a service tier. Metrics help validate performance changes after a release.

  • Scale up when CPU stays elevated during peak traffic.
  • Watch memory headroom to avoid out of memory restarts.
  • Compare deployments to confirm performance gains.

Best practices

  • Check metrics after every major deployment.
  • Use the same environment for consistent comparisons.
  • Pair metrics with logs to pinpoint root causes faster.
