Infrastructure Monitoring & Alerting
Independent monitoring for Linux servers, databases and services. Prometheus, Grafana, actionable alerts and operational runbooks.
Know when a service fails, a database runs out of capacity or a backup stops arriving. I design monitoring around the failures you need to detect, with checks outside the environment they protect where practical.

What I monitor
- Linux hosts: CPU, memory, disk space, I/O and availability.
- MySQL / Percona: connections, replication, query load and PXC cluster health.
- Services and network endpoints: availability, latency and certificate expiry.
- Backups: last successful run, age, failed jobs and storage capacity.
What you receive
REVIEW & PLAN — assessment and design
- REVIEW: a coverage assessment, alerting gaps and a findings report.
- PLAN: the assessment plus recommended checks, dashboards, alert routing and rollout steps.
- These packages do not deploy or reconfigure production monitoring.
IMPLEMENT — production delivery
- Agreed Prometheus/exporter configuration, Grafana dashboards and Alertmanager routing.
- Tested notification delivery and operating instructions for the deployed scope.
Scope, host count and access are agreed before work. Hosting, ongoing operation, on-call response and 24/7 coverage are quoted separately; installing monitoring does not include incident response.

Start with your environment
Send your host and service count, database stack, current monitoring tools and the incidents you need to detect. Do not send credentials or other secrets.

Packages & pricing
Choose the outcome you need: understand the current state, get a practical implementation plan, or have the agreed changes delivered in production. REVIEW and PLAN do not include production changes.
3–5 business days
- Review current metrics, checks and alert delivery
- Identify blind spots and noisy or missing alerts
- Receive a concise findings report
5–10 business days
- Everything in REVIEW
- Get a monitoring design and alerting recommendations
- Receive a rollout plan and acceptance checks
Schedule agreed after assessment
- Assessment and rollout plan included
- Deploy agreed monitoring, dashboards and alerts
- Test notifications and hand over operating instructions
Indicative delivery times start after the agreed kickoff and receipt of the required access and information. Scope, dependencies and maintenance windows may affect the schedule; timing is confirmed before work.
Each package is a separate engagement; you do not need to purchase all three. Scope and deliverables are agreed before work. Implementation starts from €999; the final quote depends on system count, complexity and the changes required. Hosting, ongoing operation and 24/7 incident response are quoted separately.
