If you are using Sematext for monitoring Nginx, Apache, or MongoDB, you’ll be pleased to hear we’ve just made some improvements to the Nginx, Apache, and MongoDB performance monitoring integrations.
The changes are based on the new, unified Sematext Agent that provides numerous integrations (EU) out-of-the-box and enables exciting features like infrastructure monitoring, auto-discovery, and many more. The old Node.js-based agent that was used for just these three integrations will continue to be supported for a while longer, but we suggest you upgrade to the new Sematext Agent as it brings additional benefits. You can do that by:
- removing the existing Node.js-based agent – see how (n.b. you can also remove the Node.js runtime if you don’t use it for something else since the new agent doesn’t need it)
- following the installation instructions for your Nginx, Apache, or MongoDB Monitoring Apps (EU) in Sematext
One notable difference between the new and the old MongoDB integration is in the metrics they provide. A few of the old reports will be removed shortly, but we are adding several new ones for WiredTiger, TCMalloc, Shards, Latency, Cursor, and reworked Locks.
