Monitoring is now available for free with all Droplets, providing developers with tools to resolve issues quickly by alerting them when an issue occurs and giving them information to understand it. The service is natively integrated with the DigitalOcean platform, can be enabled at no extra cost, and introduces new alerting capabilities using metrics collected by the agent. It exposes system metrics and provides an overview of Droplets' health, allowing teams to receive notifications based on resource utilization and operational health. The monitoring service offers features such as creating alert policies, leveraging tags to group Droplets, and installing the agent on existing Droplets. The team is working on future iterations that will include features such as visualizing metrics and integrating Monitoring into workflows.
