Linux monitoring and alerting test

What this Scenario does

This Scenario runs four sequential resource experiments on your Linux hosts, each generating a short spike in a different resource: CPU, disk I/O, memory, and network latency. This exercises the full breadth of your observability stack against real resource pressure at the OS level.

‍

Why run this Scenario?

This Scenario helps test your observabilty tool by causing short spikes in four different resources. This lets you:

• Verify that your observability tool is receiving metrics for critical resources.
• Check for significant delays in receiving and analyzing metrics.
• Test any alerts you have configured for resource consumption or exhaution.

‍

Expected outcome

As each experiment runs, our monitoring tool shows corresponding spikes in each resource (CPU, disk I/O, memory usage, and packet latency).
