What could go wrong when operating a system with an edge device and four drives? More than you think. To avoid unforeseen shutdowns and issues we deploy sophisticated monitoring on each system. This includes metrics for the drives, the fan and the edge device itself. How are these information transferred? Encrypted Publish/Subscribe to a central database does the trick.
Besides hardware and network monitoring we also keep track of the Storj related metrics. Some important metrics are online, audit and suspension score, the currently used storage per drive and the accumulated network throughput for the current month.
