Steam is a leading platform for digital distribution of video games and related media, a community space for gamers, and a tool for multiplayer gaming. With millions of concurrent users, monitoring Steam servers is crucial for maintaining seamless gaming experiences.
To efficiently monitor Steam, Netdata employs an openmetrics (Prometheus) exporter, specifically tailored to the Steam A2S-supported game servers. This allows you to gather insightful metrics on performance and availability. Netdata’s versatility shines through as it can ingest data from any Prometheus exporter, providing automated dashboards, alerts, and more—eliminating the need for a standalone Prometheus server or Grafana.
