Cloud Monitor

Getting Started

Viewing cloud product monitoring data

The Cloud Service Monitor page displays the metrics of various cloud products in a centralized manner. The Cloud Service Monitor page displays the statistics on the status, performance, and alert overview of all instances of each product in different regions, and enables you to quickly create alert policies. This helps you monitor instances and promptly obtain information about exceptions that occur on instances.

Background

Supported cloud products

Currently, multiple cloud products, such as ECS, VKE, and EIP are supported. For a detailed list, see Cloud product metrics.

Cloud Monitor metrics

The metrics vary based on different cloud products. For details, see the metrics displayed on each monitoring page. For example:

For ECS, the displayed metrics include CPU utilization, memory utilization, and other metrics.

For EIP, the displayed metrics include inbound bandwidth, outbound bandwidth, and other metrics.

tip

For all metrics of different cloud products, see Cloud product metrics.

Viewing cloud product monitoring data

In the left navigation tree, click Cloud Service Monitor. On the page that appears, select the target cloud product.

In the top navigation bar, select the target region.

View the alert overview, resource distribution, and instance list of the corresponding cloud product in the selected region within the current account.

Alert overview

Number of current alerts: the total number of resource instances with active alerts and the number of resource instances at different alert levels, which include Critical, Warning, and Notice. If you click the number of instances at a specific level, you are redirected to the Alert history page, where instances at the specific level will be automatically displayed in the list. For details, see Viewing alert records.

Number of alert policies: the total number of alert policies associated with resource instances and the number of alert policies in different states, which include Disabled and In alert. If you click the number of alert policies in a specific status, you are redirected to the Alert policy page, where policies in the specific status will be automatically displayed in the list. For details, see Viewing alert policies.

Distribution of resources

This section only displays the key metrics for each cloud product. The distribution of resource instances across different performance tiers is displayed in chart form.

Resource instance list

Displays the basic information of all resource instances, such as the name, status, and performance.

Click the name of the target resource instance to view all metric data and associated alert policies.

Cloud Monitor collects data every 30 seconds by default. However, the obtained data will be aggregated and displayed by different intervals and methods based on the selected query time range. The following table describes specific rules.

Query time range	Monitoring data aggregation interval	Descriptions
(0, 6] hours	30 seconds	Cloud Monitor obtains data every 30 seconds and directly displays the collected data.
(6, 24] hours	1 minute	Cloud Monitor collects data every 30 seconds, aggregates data that is collected every two collection cycles by using a specific aggregation method (such as calculating the average value of the data), and then displays the data.
(1, 7] days	5 minutes	Cloud Monitor collects data every 30 seconds, aggregates data that is collected every 10 collection cycles by using a specific aggregation method (such as calculating the average value of the data), and then displays the data.
(7, 15] days	60 minutes	Cloud Monitor collects data every 30 seconds, aggregates every 120 data points by using a specific aggregation method (such as calculating the average value of the data), and then displays the data.

(Optional) Click the name of the current product to directly select another product or perform a fuzzy search to switch between cloud products.

Creating an alert policy

In the left navigation tree, click Cloud Service Monitor. On the page that appears, select the target cloud product.

In the top navigation bar, select the target region.

In the upper right corner of the page, click Create alert policy.

Specify the parameters of the policy. The current cloud product and region are automatically selected for the alert object.

For detailed configuration, see Creating alert policies.
