Yandex Monitoring vs. AdRem NetCrunch

Yandex Monitoring efficiently collects metrics related to your cloud resources without requiring any additional input from you. You can choose to generate separate charts for distinct metrics or combine all your application's metrics into one detailed dashboard. Furthermore, notifications can be configured to alert you when specific metric thresholds are exceeded. These alerts can be sent through email or SMS, and you have the option to include other users in these notifications as well. The service provides visualization for exported metrics and allows you to oversee both your cloud and on-premise infrastructure from a single, integrated platform. You have the flexibility to upload metrics from applications running on Yandex Cloud or to monitor local data sources. These metrics capture variations in specific values over time, such as the operational status of a Yandex Cloud service, covering aspects like used disk space and network data transfer rates. This extensive monitoring feature guarantees that you remain updated on the performance and condition of your resources consistently. Additionally, the ability to customize your monitoring setup enhances your capability to respond promptly to any issues that may arise.
