Viewing ECS Metrics

Scenarios

The cloud platform provides Cloud Eye, which monitors the statuses of your ECSs. You can obtain the monitoring metrics of each ECS on the management console.

There is a short time delay between transmission and display of monitoring data. The status of an ECS displayed on Cloud Eye is the status obtained 5 to 10 minutes earlier. If an ECS is just created, wait for 5 to 10 minutes to view the real-time monitoring data.

Prerequisites

  • The ECS is running properly.

    Cloud Eye does not display the monitoring data for a stopped, faulty, or deleted ECS. After such an ECS restarts or recovers, the monitoring data is available in Cloud Eye.

    Cloud Eye discontinues monitoring ECSs that remain in Stopped or Faulty state for 24 hours and removes them from the monitoring list. However, the alarm rules for such ECSs are not automatically deleted.

  • Alarm rules have been configured in Cloud Eye for the target ECS.

    The monitoring data is unavailable for the ECSs without alarm rules configured in Cloud Eye. For details, see Creating Alarm Rules.

  • The target ECS has been properly running for at least 10 minutes.

    The monitoring data and graphics are available for a new ECS after the ECS runs for at least 10 minutes.

  • To view the monitoring metrics on the monitoring dashboard, you need to create an ECS monitoring dashboard. For details, see Creating a Dashboard.

Procedure

You can view the monitoring metrics of an ECS in any of the following ways:

  1. Log in to the ECS console and access the ECS list page.
  2. In the search box above the ECS list, enter the ECS name, IP address, or ID to search for the target ECS.
  3. In the Monitoring column, click to view the monitoring data of the ECS.
  4. In the upper right corner of the slide-out panel, click View Details to view the complete monitoring data, including the OS monitoring, basic monitoring, and process monitoring data.
  5. In the ECS monitoring area, select a time range to view the monitoring data.

    You can view the monitoring data of the ECS in the last 1 hour, last 3 hours, last 12 hours, last 1 day, or last 7 days.

  1. Log in to the ECS Overview page.
  2. In the monitoring area on the Overview page, view the monitoring metrics of top 5 ECSs under your account on the Server Monitoring and EIP Monitoring tabs.
