Tools - Longview
View real-time system metrics and resource utilization to gain insight into your Linux-based cloud workloads.
Longview is Linode’s system data graphing service. It tracks metrics for CPU, memory, and network bandwidth on both an aggregate and per-process basis. It also provides real-time graphs that can help expose performance problems.
Platform-agnoistic
The Longview client is open source and provides an agent that can be installed on any Linux distribution – including systems not hosted on the Linode platform.
Pro Plan
Longview is free for all customers for up to ten clients. You also have the option to purchase Longview Pro which includes additional analytics for an added cost. Longview’s free version updates every 5 minutes and provides 12 hours of data history. Longview Pro gives you data resolution at 60 second intervals, and you can view a complete history of your Linode’s data instead of only the previous 12 hours.
Availability
Longview can be installed on Compute Instances across all regions.
Pricing
There are four different Longview Pro plan tiers you can choose from. Each plan varies in the amount of clients that can be monitored by Longview.
