uWSGI is an application server used to manage and serve web applications, primarily written in the Python programming language. It is widely used in production environments to facilitate reliable communication between web servers and application code by acting as a middle layer.
Monitoring uWSGI is crucial for maintaining optimal application performance. Netdata offers a comprehensive uWSGI monitoring tool that provides real-time insights into server and application health. By utilizing Netdata, you can monitor key metrics such as requests, transmitted data, and exceptions to ensure your web applications run smoothly.
Monitoring uWSGI is essential because it helps in detecting performance issues early and ensures application resilience. Understanding metrics such as request rates, error rates, and server load allows DevOps and SRE teams to proactively manage infrastructure stability and efficiency.
Using tools for monitoring uWSGI, such as Netdata, ensures that you have real-time visibility into application performance. This helps you identify bottlenecks, optimize resource allocation, and enhance user experience by maintaining high service availability.
Monitoring uWSGI involves tracking several key performance metrics:
| Metric Name | Description | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| uwsgi.transmitted_data | UWSGI Transmitted Data | bytes/s |
| uwsgi.requests | UWSGI Requests | requests/s |
| uwsgi.harakiris | UWSGI Dropped Requests | harakiris/s |
| uwsgi.respawns | UWSGI Respawns | respawns/s |
| uwsgi.worker_transmitted_data | UWSGI Worker Transmitted Data | bytes/s |
| uwsgi.worker_requests | UWSGI Worker Requests | requests/s |
| uwsgi.worker_average_request_time | UWSGI Worker Average Request Time | ms |
| uwsgi.worker_exceptions | UWSGI Worker Raised Exceptions | exceptions/s |
| uwsgi.worker_memory_rss | UWSGI Worker Memory RSS | bytes |
| uwsgi.worker_memory_vsz | UWSGI Worker Memory VSZ | bytes |
To gain deeper insights, utilize advanced monitoring techniques such as configuring specific alerts for threshold breaches, analyzing historical data for trends, and enabling custom plugins tailored to your infrastructure needs.
Swiftly diagnosing root causes or performance issues can be achieved by closely analyzing key uWSGI metrics, enabling prompt troubleshooting and resolution, and thus minimizing downtime.
