As use of your GitHub Enterprise instance increases over time, the utilization of system resources, like CPU, memory, and storage will also increase. You can configure monitoring and alerting so that you're aware of potential issues before they become critical enough to negatively impact application performance or availability.

Accessing the monitor dashboard

GitHub Enterprise includes a web-based monitoring dashboard that displays historical data about your GitHub Enterprise appliance, such as CPU and storage usage, application and authentication response times, and general system health.

About recommended alert thresholds

Configure an alert to notify you of system resource issues before they affect your GitHub Enterprise appliance's performance.

Setting up external monitoring

You can monitor basic system resources on your GitHub Enterprise appliance using either the SNMP or collectd statistics collection protocols.
