Monitoring
To monitor the billing platform effectively, we recommend using monitoring software such as Zabbix or Nagios. The specific configuration will depend on your company's policies and existing tools. Here are the key factors to monitor:
- Current load on all nodes – considered critical when the load average exceeds 75% of CPU cores;
- Free disk space – deemed critical when below 30% of the total capacity;
- Swap usage – considered critical when exceeding 10%, since most processes should completely fit into RAM;
- RAID array state – ensuring consistency for your adapter's array;
- HTTPS – accessibility on the master node;
- Running processes for RADIUS – process named
vcs-bbradiusdshould be running; - Running processes for SIP Redirect – process named
vcs-bbsipdshould be running.
In addition, monitor all related equipment including switches, SBCs, and gateways. Once monitoring is configured, you can proceed with integrating your equipment. See the Integration Manual for detailed guidance.
