Overview

Server Monitoring

Server monitoring provided by Cloud Eye includes basic monitoring and OS monitoring. Basic monitoring refers to monitoring of ECS metrics automatically reported (BMS does not support basic monitoring). OS monitoring provides system-wide, active monitoring for BMSs, on which 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, and 7.4
  EulerOS	2.2
  Debian	8.6

Installation Methods

After a BMS is created, you need to manually install Agent to monitor the BMS. For details about the installation, see Installing and Configuring the Agent on a Linux ECS or BMS.
