Monitoring

Scenarios

You may send PUT and GET requests continuously when using OBS, which generates upload and download traffic. You may also receive error responses from the server. Huawei Cloud provides Cloud Eye to help you monitor OBS and better understand your bucket statuses. Cloud Eye can perform automatic and real-time monitoring over your buckets. It triggers alarms and notifications upon user operations based on predefined policies, allowing you to keep a close eye on your bucket access requests, traffic, and error responses.

You do not need to separately subscribe to Cloud Eye. It starts automatically once you create a resource (a bucket, for example) in OBS.

For more information about Cloud Eye, see What Is Cloud Eye?

Setting Alarm Rules

In addition to automatic and real-time monitoring, you can configure alarm rules in Cloud Eye to have alarm notifications sent when specific situations occur.

For details about how to configure alarm rules for Cloud Eye monitoring over OBS, see Creating an Alarm Rule.

Viewing OBS Monitoring Metrics

Cloud Eye monitors OBS usage in real time. You can view detailed statistics of each metric on the console of Cloud Eye.
