ServiceWatch metrics
Virtual Server sends metrics to ServiceWatch. The metrics provided by basic monitoring are collected at 5-minute intervals. When detailed monitoring is enabled, you can view data collected at one-minute intervals.
To enable detailed monitoring for a Virtual Server, see How-to guides > Enabling ServiceWatch detailed monitoring.
Basic Metrics
The following are the default metrics for the Virtual Server namespace.
In the following, metrics whose names are displayed in bold are the key metrics selected from the default metrics provided by Virtual Server. Key metrics are used to build service-specific dashboards that are automatically created in ServiceWatch. You can also view key metrics in the Monitoring tab of the Virtual Server details page.
Each metric specifies which statistical values are meaningful when querying that metric, and the user guide provides guidance on these meaningful statistics. Among the meaningful statistics, those displayed in bold are the primary statistical values. You can view key metrics through key statistics on the service dashboard or monitoring tab.
