DigitalOcean Monitoring is a free, opt-in service that helps you track Droplet resource usage, view performance metrics, and receive alerts. The DigitalOcean metrics agent is an open-source Go utility that collects and sends system metrics to DigitalOcean to enable features such as usage graphs, alerts, and custom metrics.

Monitoring is available in all active datacenter regions. Standard and AI/ML workloads support metrics collection. You must install the DigitalOcean metrics agent on all participating Droplets.

GPU Observability extends Monitoring with GPU-level metrics for NVIDIA GPU Droplets and AMD GPU Droplets, which are available upon request, when you create them with AI/ML Ready images. Monitoring with GPU metrics is available in all GPU-supported regions where AI/ML Ready Droplets are offered.

GPU Observability is enabled automatically on AI/ML Ready images when you create a GPU Droplet. For Basic Images, you can enable GPU metrics by manually installing the exporter, binding it to 127.0.0.1, reconfiguring do-agent to scrape it, and restarting do-agent.
