Viewing Basic Monitoring Metrics

Basic monitoring is only available for ECSs, and monitoring data is reported by ECSs. You can view this data and set alarm rules for basic monitoring metrics without the need to install the Agent. If a metric meets the alarm condition, you will receive an alarm notification. For details about the metrics supported by basic monitoring, see Basic ECS Metrics.
