Discovering Applications

Overview

Application Operations Management (AOM) can discover applications deployed on HUAWEI CLOUD hosts and collect their metrics based on configured rules. You can view the discovered applications on the Application Monitoring page and their metrics on the O&M page.

The relationship between applications and components is as follows:

  • Component refers to the smallest unit for completing a task. It can be a microservice, container process, or common process.
  • Application refers to a complete service module and consists of multiple components.

After application discovery is configured, you can use AOM to monitor application metrics and associate related alarms. Mainly, AOM can:

  1. Provide association relationships between applications and components, between components and component instances, and between applications and hosts.
  2. Enable you to search for associated components and logs.
  3. Aggregate component metrics (so that you can obtain aggregated results of all component instances).

Procedure

  1. Log in to AOM, choose Configuration Management > Service Discovery in the navigation pane, and then configure an application discovery rule.

    You need to configure a log path associated with the target component.

  2. View the application status.

    1. In the navigation pane, choose Monitoring > Application Monitoring.
    2. Click an application to view its components and other resources.

    3. Click the Component List tab and view the component information.

    4. Click the Host List tab to view the host information.

    5. Click the Alarm Analysis tab to view alarms.
