Application Scenarios

Cloud Service Monitoring

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

Performance Issues

When an alarm rule's conditions are met, Cloud Eye generates an alarm and invokes the SMN API to send the notifications, allowing you to understand the root cause of performance issues.

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. If the service volume increases, Cloud Eye sends you an alarm notification, enabling you to manually expand the capacity or configure AS to automatically increase capacity.

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.

Log Monitoring

The log monitoring function enables you to monitor log content in real time. You can set alarm rules on Cloud Eye to monitor the logs collected by Log Tank Service (LTS), thus to reduce your O&M cost for log monitoring and simplify the log monitoring process.

Event Monitoring

In event monitoring, you can query system events that are automatically reported to Cloud Eye and custom events reported to Cloud Eye through the API. You can create alarm rules for both system events and custom events. When specific events occur, Cloud Eye generates alarms for you.
