Monitoring Metrics
Overview
This section describes the namespace, the metrics that can be monitored by Cloud Eye, and dimensions of these metrics. You can view the metrics reported by ELB and the generated alarms on the Cloud Eye console.
Cloud Eye can monitor dimensions nested to a maximum of four levels (levels 0 to 3). Level 3 is the deepest level. For example, if the monitored dimension of a metric is lb_instance_id,lb_listener_id, lb_instance_id indicates level 0 and lb_listener_id indicates level 1.

If a metric has multiple levels of monitoring dimensions, you need to specify each dimension level when you use an API to query this metric.
Suppose you want to query the number of new connections (m4_ncps). The dimension of the metric is lb_instance_id,lb_listener_id. lb_instance_id indicates level 0 and lb_listener_id indicates level 1.
- To query this metric by calling an API, specify the m4_ncps dimension as follows:
dim.0=lb_instance_id,530cd6b0-86d7-4818-837f-935f6a27414d&dim.1=lb_listener_id,3773b058-5b4f-4366-9035-9bbd9964714a
530cd6b0-86d7-4818-837f-935f6a27414d and 3773b058-5b4f-4366-9035-9bbd9964714a are the dimension values of lb_instance_id and lb_listener_id, respectively. For details about how to obtain the values, see Dimensions.
- To query multiple metrics by calling an API, specify the m4_ncps dimension as follows:
"dimensions": [ { "name": "lb_instance_id", "value": "530cd6b0-86d7-4818-837f-935f6a27414d" } { "name": "lb_listener_id", "value": "3773b058-5b4f-4366-9035-9bbd9964714a" } ]530cd6b0-86d7-4818-837f-935f6a27414d and 3773b058-5b4f-4366-9035-9bbd9964714a are the dimension values of lb_instance_id and lb_listener_id, respectively. For details about how to obtain the values, see Dimensions.
