Application Scenarios

Cloud Eye provides various application scenarios.

Cloud Service Monitoring

After enabling a cloud service supported by Cloud Eye, you can conveniently view the running status of the cloud service, usage of each metric, and create alarm rules for metrics on the Cloud Eye console.

Server Monitoring

By monitoring the ECS or BMS metrics, such as CPU usage, memory usage, and disk usage, you can ensure stable running of the ECS or BMS to prevent service interruption caused by overuse of resources.

Resource Exception

Based on the alarm rule, Cloud Eye generates an alarm and uses the SMN service to send notifications when the metric data reaches the alarm policy. In this way, you can obtain the exception notification and query the exception cause in time.

Capacity Expansion

After creating alarm rules for metrics such as CPU usage, memory usage, and disk usage, you can track the running status of a cloud service. When you receive an alarm notification or the service volume increases, you can manually expand the capacity or use AS for capacity expansion.

Website Monitoring

Currently, website monitoring supports four detections protocols: HTTP (HTTPS), TCP, UDP, and PING. It detects the website availability, response time, and packet loss ratio, helping you understand the website availability and handle exceptions in time.

Custom Monitoring

Custom monitoring supplements cloud service monitoring. If Cloud Eye does not provide the required metrics, you can use custom monitoring and report the collected monitoring data to Cloud Eye. Cloud Eye helps to display those monitoring data in graphs and allows you to create alarm rules for those custom metrics.
