What does the USE method measure for infrastructure monitoring?

Question

Accepted Answer

Utilization, Saturation, and Errors — three signals that cover how busy a resource is, whether it has queued work, and whether it is failing — USE was designed by Brendan Gregg for infrastructure components like CPU, memory, and disks. Unlike RED which targets request-driven services, USE focuses on physical or logical resources and catches bottlenecks before they affect end users.
