How to Monitor High Resource Usage Trends
Short spikes and long-running overuse are not the same problem. Trend review helps determine whether the issue is traffic, code, or abuse related.
What to Track
- Time windows when CPU, memory, or entry processes peak.
- Recurring traffic or job patterns that align with the spikes.
- Recent deployments, imports, or application changes.
- Changes in error logs, queue delays, or timeout frequency.
Decision Making
Use patterns over time rather than one isolated screenshot before recommending optimization or an upgrade. Good trend review prevents both underreaction and overreaction.
