Riak provides data related to current operating status in the form of counters and histograms made available through the HTTP API via the /stats endpoint or through the riak-admin interface, i.e., the stat and status commands. Graphing the throughput stats relevant to your use case is often useful for capacity planning and use trend analysis and can also help establish an expected baseline so you can investigate unexpected spikes or dips in the throughput. Basho also provides integrations to many open source, self-hosted and service-based solutions such as New Relic, Nagios and Zabbix for aggregating and analyzing statistics and logging data for purposes of monitoring, alerting and trend analysis on a Riak cluster.
