Supervisor is a client/server system that allows its users to monitor and control a number of processes on UNIX-like operating systems. Its primary function is to ensure that processes start, restart, and run as they should, providing the user with feedback about the status and error messages of the monitored programs.
Netdata offers a comprehensive Supervisor monitoring tool that provides deep insights into your system’s processes. Using this tool allows you to gain real-time visibility into all processes managed by Supervisor, ensuring seamless operation and quick troubleshooting of any irregularities.

Monitoring Supervisor is critical for maintaining the reliability and efficiency of your systems. By continuously monitoring processes, you can quickly identify performance issues, prevent potential downtimes, and ensure resource optimization. Effective monitoring minimizes risks to business operations and enhances system resilience.
The key to effective monitoring lies in understanding the different metrics available for processes managed by Supervisor. Here are some crucial metrics provided by Netdata’s Supervisor monitoring tool:
Table: Key Metrics
| Metric Name | Description |
|---|---|
| supervisord.summary_processes | Displays total processes (running/non-running) |
| supervisord.processes | Number of processes (running/non-running) |
| supervisord.process_state_code | State code per process |
| supervisord.process_exit_status | Exit status per process |
| supervisord.process_uptime | Uptime per process (seconds) |
| supervisord.process_downtime | Downtime per process (seconds) |
Advanced techniques include the ability to monitor multiple instances of Supervisor simultaneously, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of your infrastructure’s performance. Setting up alerts and notifications for any abnormal performance metrics ensures immediate attention to potential issues.
Leveraging Netdata’s deep insights, diagnosing underlying issues becomes straightforward. By analyzing Supervisor’s process metrics, you can swiftly pinpoint performance bottlenecks and root causes of failures.
