Help Center/ Elastic Cloud Server/ User Guide/ Monitoring Using Cloud Eye/ Process Monitoring Metrics Supported by ECSs with the Agent Installed

Process Monitoring Metrics Supported by ECSs with the Agent Installed

Updated on 2024-10-18 GMT+08:00

Description

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.

This section describes process monitoring metrics reported to Cloud Eye.

Namespace

AGT.ECS

Process Metrics

After the agent is installed, you can view the default process metrics listed in the following table, regardless of ECS types and OSs.

Table 1 Process metrics

Metric

Parameter

Description

Value Range

Monitored Object & Dimension

Monitoring Period (Raw Data)

proc_pHashId_cpu

CPU Usage

CPU consumed by a process. pHashId (process name and process ID) is the value of md5.

Unit: percent

  • Linux: Check metric value changes in file /proc/pid/stat.
  • Windows: Call the Windows API GetProcessTimes to obtain the CPU usage of the process.

0–1 x Number of vCPUs.

ECS

1 minute

proc_pHashId_mem

Memory Usage

Memory consumed by a process. pHashId (process name and process ID) is the value of md5.

Unit: percent

  • Linux:

    RSS*PAGESIZE/MemTotal

    Obtain the RSS value by checking the second column of file /proc/pid/statm.

    Obtain the PAGESIZE value by running the getconf PAGESIZE command.

    Obtain the MemTotal value by checking file /proc/meminfo.

  • Windows: Call the Windows API procGlobalMemoryStatusEx to obtain the total memory size. Call GetProcessMemoryInfo to obtain the used memory size. Use the used memory size to divide the total memory size to get the memory usage.

0-100%

proc_pHashId_file

Open Files

Number of files opened by a process. pHashId (process name and process ID) is the value of md5.

  • Linux: Run the ls -l /proc/pid/fd command to view the number of opened files.
  • Windows is not supported currently.
