UPEOPulse

Infrastructure metrics only matter when they explain operational impact. UPEOPulse correlates system signals with ERPNext behavior so operators can detect degradation early and act with confidence.

Built for operators who want early warning, not postmortems.

Core promise
Early signal
Detect pressure before it becomes downtime.
Primary surface
Infra + ERPNext context

Fewer surprises, faster diagnosis.
How it works

Measure, correlate, and warn early

UPEOPulse collects lightweight system metrics, builds baselines, and correlates them with ERPNext queues and scheduler behavior.

ERPNext-aware infrastructure monitoring

UPEOPulse doesn’t just collect host metrics - it understands ERPNext workload patterns.

Included
  • CPU, memory, disk, and load with ERPNext context
  • Process-level visibility for workers, scheduler, web
  • Correlation with queues and background jobs
  • Time-window analysis with baselines
Early-warning signals for degradation

Detect pressure before users complain or queues explode.

Included
  • Trend-based alerts, not static thresholds only
  • Detect slow memory leaks and creeping load
  • Surface abnormal resource-to-throughput ratios
  • Highlight unusual patterns vs historical norms
Correlation, not dashboards

Raw metrics don’t answer “why.” UPEOPulse connects signals across layers.

Included
  • Infra metrics ↔ queue backlog correlation
  • Scheduler timing ↔ CPU/memory pressure
  • Failure bursts ↔ resource saturation
  • Clear timelines for incident diagnosis
Operator-first alerting

Alerts are tied to meaning and action, not noise.

Included
  • Alerts explain what changed and why it matters
  • Routing by environment and ownership
  • Links to queue views and runbooks
  • Cooldowns to prevent alert storms
Portable across hosting environments

Designed to work wherever ERPNext runs.

Included
  • Frappe Cloud, AWS, DigitalOcean, GCP, on-prem
  • Lightweight agent + secure reporting
  • No provider lock-in assumptions
  • Consistent signals across environments
Metrics

Signals that actually predict trouble

These metrics are chosen for early detection and operational relevance.

Metric
CPU saturation (host + process)
Definition

CPU usage tracked at host level and per critical ERPNext processes (workers, scheduler, web).

Why it matters

High CPU hides behind “system feels slow.” Saturation causes queue lag, request timeouts, and cascading failures.

Example operator threshold

Alert if CPU > 85% for 5–10 minutes or if worker CPU spikes correlate with queue backlog.

Metric
Memory pressure / OOM risk
Definition

Used memory, swap activity, and OOM kill indicators correlated to ERPNext processes.

Why it matters

Memory leaks and spikes silently kill workers. By the time users complain, damage is already done.

Example operator threshold

Alert if memory usage > 90% or if swap activity begins unexpectedly.

Metric
Disk space and IO pressure
Definition

Available disk, IO wait, and write/read latency on volumes used by ERPNext, Redis, and backups.

Why it matters

Full disks break backups, logs, queues, and databases. IO wait creates system-wide latency.

Example operator threshold

Alert if free disk < 15% or IO wait exceeds baseline by 2×.

Metric
Load average vs capacity
Definition

System load compared to CPU core count, with trend analysis.

Why it matters

Load creeping above capacity is an early warning of runaway jobs, stuck workers, or external call blocking.

Metric
Queue stress correlation
Definition

Correlation between system resource pressure and queue depth, failure rate, and throughput.

Why it matters

Infrastructure metrics alone don’t explain business impact. Correlation shows when infra issues hurt operations.

Metric
Scheduler health signals
Definition

Resource usage and execution timing around scheduled jobs.

Why it matters

Schedulers often die quietly under pressure. Correlating infra stress with missed runs exposes hidden failures.

Metric
Trend baselines
Definition

Rolling baselines for CPU, memory, disk, and load by hour/day/week.

Why it matters

Static thresholds create noise. Baselines reveal slow drift and unusual behavior.

Failure modes

What infrastructure failure really looks like

These are the patterns operators see in real ERPNext production environments.

Failure mode

Slow degradation over days

Symptom: System feels slower every day; no single spike explains it.

Root cause: Memory leaks, unbounded queues, or growing datasets slowly exhausting resources.

How we detect it
  • Baseline drift in memory and load
  • Resource-to-throughput ratio worsening
  • Queue latency increasing without traffic growth
How we fix it
  • Identify leaking processes or job classes
  • Tune worker counts and queue separation
  • Schedule restarts with evidence-based justification
Failure mode

Sudden saturation during peak usage

Symptom: Timeouts and failures during busy hours.

Root cause: CPU or IO saturation triggered by heavy jobs or external dependencies.

How we detect it
  • CPU/IO spikes correlated with queue backlog
  • Scheduler overruns during peak windows
  • Throughput collapse under stable input
How we fix it
  • Reschedule heavy jobs off-peak
  • Split queues by runtime class
  • Scale resources or workers with evidence
Failure mode

Invisible scheduler failure

Symptom: Scheduled jobs silently stop running.

Root cause: Scheduler process starved or killed under resource pressure.

How we detect it
  • Missed scheduler executions
  • Resource spikes preceding scheduler silence
  • No execution evidence despite enabled config
How we fix it
  • Restart scheduler with guardrails
  • Protect scheduler with resource reservations
  • Alert on execution absence, not config state
