Overview
Service Overview
Cloud Monitoring service collects usage and change information, and logs of operating infrastructure resources, and generates events when the set threshold is exceeded, notifying users. Through this, users can quickly respond to performance degradation and failures, and can easily establish resource capacity expansion plans for a stable computing environment.
Provided Functions
Cloud Monitoring provides the following functions.
- Stable Computing Resource Management: You can easily check indicators such as CPU usage, disk usage, and memory usage. Since notifications are automatically sent to designated personnel when events occur in resources being used, you can operate computing resources stably and quickly analyze and respond to failures.
- Convenient Monitoring: Resource status information can be easily monitored by creating a dashboard. Basic dashboards and user-defined dashboards are provided, and various types of widgets can be set up to easily and quickly create dashboards.
- Event Metric Management: Event metrics can be easily set up with just a few clicks through the web-based console. Event metric settings for monitoring targets (event patterns, occurrence conditions, occurrence cycles, performance metrics, operation status, etc.) can be changed in various ways to suit the usage environment, and threshold settings and alarm settings can be easily managed.
- Resource Log Management: Log data of resources can be collected and stored, and searches can be performed on target logs as needed. Additionally, events are quantified for major keywords, and when predefined conditions are met, notifications are automatically sent to designated personnel, providing a more stable usage environment.
Components
Dashboard
The monitoring dashboard allows you to check the operation status, event status, and usage rates of monitoring targets and services.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Region | Location of resources |
| Data Reference Time | Reference time of data displayed on the dashboard |
| Refresh | Refresh the dashboard based on the current time |
| Period Setting | Set the data query period and refresh cycle |
| Monitoring Status | Number and status of monitoring targets for each service in the account |
| Event History | Display recent 7-day events by risk level as a graph |
| Top 5 Performance Usage | Display the top 5 monitoring targets with the highest performance usage |
| Event Map | Display the number of events for each service by risk level |
| Event Status | Display a list of unprocessed events that have occurred |
Performance Analysis
Performance analysis allows you to check the main performance items of monitoring targets and view current data and historical data for each performance item. Users can check the performance status of monitoring targets by service or period and analyze the results by comparing specific performance.
Log Analysis
Log analysis collects and checks the logs of monitoring targets and converts them into quantifiable data for monitoring. Basic logs are provided for each monitoring target, and users can create custom logs to collect and check additional logs.
Event Management
An event is a setting that notifies users when the performance value of a monitoring target meets certain conditions. By setting events, users can grasp monitoring information that they must know without missing it. For example, if an event is set to occur when a performance value related to overload exceeds a certain value, users will be notified whenever there is a risk of overload during resource operation, allowing them to respond before problems occur. Event management allows users to create events and set them to notify designated users when specific values occur during monitoring.
