Hi,
How do you guys monitor your zimbra hardware and server performance?
I couldnt find any fixes regarding server statistics in gui.
Need something similar like these two:

https://www.tecmint.com/monitor-centos- ... rformance/
Please comment if you have tried deploying any of the above and your experiences.
Important infos I need are cpu, ram, disk utilizations, which we can view in browser all the time.
It is realtime monitoring, if there is any, will it add huge toll on my server?
Here are my server details.
As per the IT guy who installed the server (which is not from this company), this was built only for around 50 users. and now we are almost at 100.
What server upgrades do you recommend? This is not in vm, btw.
Aside from the RAM that i can see that the current usage is at 6gb/8gb, do you recommend an ASAP upgrade of the RAM to 16gb?
If yes, what are the things need to consider before upgrading?
I know everything above sounds basic to you, but pls bear with my questions.
THanks!
How to Monitor Hardware and Server performance of Zimbra?
Re: How to Monitor Hardware and Server performance of Zimbra?
Well, the problem with your post is that you've given no details of your Zimbra version. You should always give your Zimbra version (yes it does matter) by posting the full output of the following command:
FWIW, the use of Adobe Flash was discontinued a while back (31st December 2020), I'm guessing your ZCS server also needs upgrading to the most recent release.
If you want to monitor your ZCS server, take a look at Netdata - you will find detailed articles on the internet about using it to monitor your server, try searching first.
Code: Select all
zmcontrol -v

Thank you for your response Sir.
I have included my zimbra version in my post above, reuploading here: Do I need to upgrade to latest release?
Currently we do not have any issues, but if upgrading would increase security and performance, should i consider upgrading RAM first?
Re: How to Monitor Hardware and Server performance of Zimbra?
You should always keep your server software up-to-date, You could even upgrade to a Zimbra 9 server, there's versions built by some forum members or by Zextras (at zextras.com), you can get the download details from the web site. Obviously you should take a backup of your current server before doing any upgrade.

Have you tried to clear/move the previous data?
You can probably get the same with the sysstat package and sar command. (I would also recommend the bcc-tools package but it wouldn't work with your current kernel.)
There is never enough resource for Java applications but in my experience you should have a fast storage under Zimbra (SSD) as it can be quite... hectic.
Especially when you restart the server/service. For me it sometimes starts to compress-decompress logs like hell (ie. the stats you need) and makes a huge load on the server which makes it basically unusable - on HDD.
So maybe the guy who installed your server turned those metrics off intentionally?
Code: Select all
mv /opt/zimbra/zmstat /opt/zimbra/zmstat_$(date -I)
mkdir /opt/zimbra/zmstat
chown zimbra:zimbra /opt/zimbra/zmstat
systemctl restart zimbra.service
