Monitoring ECSs

Monitoring is key for ensuring ECS performance, reliability, and availability. Using monitored data, you can determine ECS resource utilization. The cloud platform provides Cloud Eye to help you obtain the running statuses of your ECSs. You can use Cloud Eye to automatically monitor ECSs in real time and manage alarms and notifications to keep track of ECS performance metrics.

Server monitoring includes basic monitoring, OS monitoring, and process monitoring for servers.

Basic monitoring includes metrics automatically reported by ECSs, such as CPU usage.
OS monitoring provides proactive, fine-grained OS monitoring for ECSs, and it requires the Agent (a plug-in) to be installed on all ECSs to be monitored. OS monitoring supports metrics such as CPU usage and memory usage (Linux).
Process monitoring provides monitoring of active processes on ECSs and it requires the Agent to be installed on the ECSs to be monitored. By default, Cloud Eye collects CPU usage, memory usage, and number of opened files of active processes.
