What does a resource event indicate?

A resource event indicates problems due to resource contention. When a system experiences resource contention, it means that various processes or services are competing for limited resources, such as CPU, memory, or disk I/O. This contention can lead to performance degradation, increased response times, and can manifest as service disruptions for end users.

Monitoring these events helps identify specific issues within the application environment, allowing teams to take preemptive action, such as optimizing resource allocation or scaling infrastructure, to manage load effectively. Understanding resource events is crucial as they reveal insights into how resource limitations impact application performance and user experience.
