Description
Ideally we would be able to monitor the NFS servers we rely on in the grafana isntances directly, but unless we can't do that we need at least some way to understand if the NFS servers are overloaded.
I understand it as we rely on cloud provided NFS services GCP Filestore and AWS EFS. Ideally, we should at least learn how to monitor them using the cloud console if we can't provide grafana instances access to the datasources and import pre-defined dashboards for this.
Cloud services
- GCP's Filestore service has notes on monitoring
- AWS EFS service has notes on monitoring
- Azure Files has notes on monitoring
Action points
- Explore the options to monitor NFS services performance and come up with refined action points
