It leverages VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) to increase network uptime by offering failover protocols. By monitoring network interfaces, Keepalived helps in ensuring that servers are capable of handling traffic efficiently.</p> <h3 id="monitoring-keepalived-with-netdata">Monitoring Keepalived With Netdata</h3> <p>Monitoring Keepalived with Netdata is a seamless process that ensures you have real-time insights into the performance and availability of your network infrastructure. Netdata uses an <strong>openmetrics (Prometheus) exporter</strong> to retrieve Keepalived metrics. This means that, to monitor Keepalived, Netdata can accept data from any Prometheus exporter, allowing you to benefit from automated dashboards and alerts without needing a dedicated Prometheus server or Grafana. This integration allows for comprehensive monitoring of Keepalived metrics, ensuring your high-availability setup runs smoothly.</p>
