Observability and Management

A rich collection of metrics, dashboards, and easily integrated command-line tools for managing the database and monitoring its performance

Comprehensive Aerospike Observability

Observability of your real-time data platform has never been this simple. Aerospike Observability provides you with the tools to enable operational best practices that fit your organization’s needs. This starts with the Aerospike Metrics Exporter and Metrics Reference which provide over 500 well-documented metrics with details and examples of how to use them. The Metrics Reference also recommends alerting conditions and provides operational guidance. The Observability Stack also includes curated Grafana dashboards designed to help you navigate multiple clusters or focus on a specific use case.

Robust alerting

Robust Alerting

Distinguishing signal from noise is crucial for busy operations teams. Aerospike includes a default package of alerts that help you identify and prioritize anomalies. The rules for these alerts are flexible and seamlessly integrate into ticketing, chat, and pager systems.

Aerospike Restore

The asrestore utility restores backups created with asbackup. If the namespace on the cluster already contains existing records, a configurable write policy determines which records take precedence - records in the namespace or records from the backup.
