Overview

Server Monitoring

Server monitoring provided by Cloud Eye includes basic monitoring and OS monitoring. Basic monitoring refers to monitoring of server metrics automatically reported (BMS does not support basic monitoring). OS monitoring provides system-wide, active monitoring for BMSs, on which the Cloud Eye Agent is installed. Agent uses less than 50 MB of memory and 1.5% of CPU resources.

To meet the basic monitoring and O&M requirements for servers, Server Monitoring monitors more than 40 metrics, such as CPU, memory, disk, and network.

Constraints

• Agent can only be installed on BMSs running a 64-bit Linux OS.
• Private images do not support this function.

  Table 1 lists the Linux images that support server monitoring.

  OS Type (64-bit)	Version
  SUSE	Enterprise11 SP4 and Enterprise12 SP1
  CentOS	6.9, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.6, and 7.9
  EulerOS	2.2, 2.9
  Debian	8.6

Installation Methods

If you use a public image to create a BMS, you can either select Cloud Eye during the BMS creation (as shown in Figure 1) or manually install the Agent after the BMS creation. For details, see Agent Installation and Configuration.
