monitoring recommendations (TrafficLineVariables)

[zeek <ze...@sparklehouse.com>]

Hello, New ATS admins here. A co-worker found a means to display all 
Traffic Line Variables and values via URI http://<trafficserver>:8080/stat/

https://trafficserver.apache.org/docs/trunk/admin/traffic-line-commands/#TrafficLineVariables


We'd like to graph some items to get an idea of performance over time.
We're a bit overwhelmed at the abundance of items available. I'd like to 
know if anyone has specific items here that they'd recommend.


Thank you,
-zeek

We graph:

Transactions per second
Cache percent free
Open origin server connections
Cache transfers in progress
Client throughput Mbps
Client transfers in progress
Avg lookup time

In addition to cpu/mem/swap/diskIO/network bandwidth

We have it pulling the stats via SNMP to make it easier for tools to retrieve data.
