VergeIO Launches ioMetrics for Deep Infrastructure Visibility

VergeIO, Inc. announced the availability of ioMetrics, a Prometheus-compatible monitoring solution purpose-built to provide granular observability across VergeOS environments.

ioMetrics gives organizations detailed insight into the storage, compute and networking layers – streamlining performance management, capacity planning, and proactive alerting.

ioMetrics brings 3rd-party monitoring to VergeOS environments for the first time and is designed for integration with modern observability platforms like Grafana, LogicMonitor, and Dynatrace.

“Our customers want the power of VergeOS with the visibility of enterprise observability stacks,” said Jason Yaeger, SVP of engineering, VergeIO. “ioMetrics bridges that gap, giving IT teams the insights they need to scale confidently and resolve issues before they impact users.“

Comprehensive Infrastructure Metrics-Exposed

ioMetrics collects and publishes detailed metrics from VergeOS environments, with a focus on 3 key layers:

vSAN Tier Monitoring: Capacity, usage, and allocation per tier; transaction and repair counts; drive health and temperature; and detailed read/write performance metrics.
Cluster Insights: Total and online node tracking; memory and CPU usage; number of active VMs; and fault domain visibility.
Node and Hardware Metrics: Per-core CPU utilization, network interface throughput, drive utilization and health stats, and node-level availability reporting.

These metrics are exposed via a lightweight HTTP endpoint and scraped natively by Prometheus. ioMetrics is written in Go and designed for minimal resource usage.

Used by Service Providers to Streamline Operations
MSPs, Cloud Service Providers (CSPs), and Bare Metal Service Providers (BMS) are adopting ioMetrics to bring real-time infrastructure visibility into their operational workflows. By integrating VergeOS via ioMetrics into their existing dashboards, providers are eliminating blind spots and simplifying how their support and NOC teams monitor health, performance, and availability across their environments.

ioMetrics gives service providers the ability to:

Consolidate VergeOS metrics into existing Grafana or Prometheus-based dashboards.
Set real-time alerts for CPU, memory, and storage thresholds.
Monitor cluster and tenant performance alongside application workloads.
Detect early warning signs of hardware failure or resource imbalance.
Build unified views across customer VDCs, hosts, and storage tiers.

“ioMetrics allows our customers to bring VergeOS into the heart of their existing Grafana dashboards,” said Larry Ludlow, principal engineer, VergeIO. “They can now correlate VergeOS metrics alongside application data and infrastructure performance for complete situational awareness.“

Built for Every Environment

To meet the needs of heterogeneous IT teams, ioMetrics is available for all major platforms, including:

Linux
Windows
macOS

It can be deployed as a system service and managed alongside existing monitoring agents or infrastructure code.

Benefits for VergeIO Customers

Enhanced Visibility: Track key performance indicators across vSAN, cluster, and node layers using open monitoring tools.
Proactive Issue Detection: Monitor drive health, repair cycles, CPU stress, and thermal conditions before they cause service disruptions.
Optimized Capacity Planning: Plan hardware growth based on accurate usage and trend data-down to individual drives and cores.
Seamless Integration: Easily integrate VergeOS with Prometheus-based stacks including Grafana, LogicMonitor, and Dynatrace.
Cross-Platform Support: Deploy ioMetrics wherever you monitor-Linux servers, macOS laptops, or Windows desktops.

“Monitoring isn’t optional – it’s essential,” added Yan Ness, CEO, VergeIO. “ioMetrics brings the depth of infrastructure monitoring our customers need, with the open ecosystem support they expect.“
