- abhiyerra 10y agoWell the goal of the tool is to watch the entire cluster and notify you if any machine is idling or not doing its part. Right now the tool is focused on making existing servers performant, but since it is already collecting diagnostic information it can eventually also notify if a machine is sitting idle. For example, a company I worked at had a Redis slave machine which was quite powerful but we realized 2 years later that it wasn't actually doing anything. Whoops. All the monitoring metrics showed that it was performing well, but nothing actually notified us that by performing well it wasn't doing anything in the first place. This seems to be a common theme when many machines are run. Some go unnoticed and idle away.
