Overview

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

Basic monitoring covers metrics automatically reported by ECSs. The data is collected every 5 minutes. For details, see Services Interconnected with Cloud Eye. BMSs do not support basic monitoring. You need to install the Agent on the BMSs to be monitored.
OS monitoring provides proactive and fine-grained OS monitoring for ECSs or BMSs, and it requires the Agent to be installed on all servers that will be monitored. The data is collected every minute. OS monitoring supports metrics such as CPU usage and memory usage (Linux). For details, see Services Interconnected with Cloud Eye.
Process monitoring provides monitoring of active processes on hosts. By default, Cloud Eye collects CPU usage, memory usage, and number of opened files of active processes.

Windows and Linux OSs are supported. For details, see What OSs Does the Agent Support?
For the ECS specifications, use 2 vCPUs and 4 GiB memory for a Linux ECS and 4 vCPUs and 8 GiB memory or higher specifications for a Windows ECS.
To install the Agent in a Linux server, you must have the root permissions. For a Windows server, you must have the administrator permissions.

Scenarios

Whether you are using ECSs or BMSs, you can use server monitoring to track various OS metrics, monitor server resource usage, and query monitoring data when faults occur.

Constraints

Server monitoring is available only for servers using Huawei Cloud public images. If any problem occurs when you use a private image, Cloud Eye will not provide technical support.

Monitoring Capabilities

Multiple metrics, such as metrics for CPU, memory, disk, and network usage, will be monitored, meeting the basic monitoring and O&M requirements for servers. For details about metrics, see Services Interconnected with Cloud Eye.
