Metrics
OpenTelemetry metrics were introduced in GitHub Enterprise Server 3.18 and are the foundation for monitoring GitHub Enterprise Server instances.
New installations of version 3.19 and later use OpenTelemetry metrics by default. On version 3.18, and on instances upgraded from earlier releases, collectd metrics are still gathered by default. Collectd is retired in version 3.23, and upgrading to 3.23 disables it. For migration guidance for instances that still use collectd, see Migrating from collectd to OpenTelemetry.

Dashboards
The Management Console provides built-in dashboards that visualize metrics to help you troubleshoot performance issues and better understand how your GitHub Enterprise Server appliance is being used. The data behind the graphs is gathered by the monitoring services and sampled regularly.
For more information about the monitor dashboards, see About the monitor dashboards.
System Logs
GitHub Enterprise Server maintains system logs that can be used to monitor system events and troubleshoot issues. These logs provide detailed information about various system processes and can be valuable for debugging and monitoring purposes.
For more information about system logs, see About system logs.
Troubleshooting resource allocation problems
Resource allocation problems can impact the performance and availability of your GitHub Enterprise Server instance. Understanding how to identify and resolve these issues is crucial for maintaining optimal system performance.

Generating a Health Check for your enterprise
A health check provides a comprehensive overview of your GitHub Enterprise Server instance's current state and can help identify potential issues before they become critical.
