What can be monitored in the service flow 'Infrastructure' menu?

Monitoring the number of service instances in the service flow 'Infrastructure' menu provides valuable insights into how many versions of a service are currently active and available within your application environment. This information is crucial for understanding application scalability, load balancing, and resource management. A higher number of service instances may indicate scaling operations to meet user demand, while a lower number might suggest underutilization or potential issues with deployment.

The service flow 'Infrastructure' menu typically focuses on the underlying infrastructure that supports the application, including the services hosted, their capacities, and their overall operational state. This visibility allows teams to ensure that sufficient resources are allocated and that the system can handle the load. It helps identify issues related to service instances, such as unexpected downtime or performance degradation when instances are either scaled down or unintentionally removed.

While database availability, server health checks, and network latency are all important metrics to monitor, they are typically tracked in different sections related to application performance or specific infrastructure monitoring tools as opposed to being highlighted directly within the service flow 'Infrastructure' menu.
