Monitoring Metrics

Overview

This section describes the namespace, list, and measurement dimensions of metrics of global EIPs and global internet bandwidths that you can check on Cloud Eye. You can use APIs or the Cloud Eye console to query the metrics of the monitored metrics and generated alarms.

  • Currently, global connection bandwidths do not support monitoring data reporting and have no monitoring metrics.
  • If a bandwidth is increased or decreased, there is a delay of 5 to 10 minutes for the monitoring metrics to update for the new bandwidth.
  • Cloud Eye can monitor dimensions nested to a maximum depth of four levels (levels 0 to 3). 3 is the deepest level. For example, if the monitored dimension of a metric is geip_internet_bandwidth_id,geip_global_eip_id, geip_internet_bandwidth_id indicates level 0 and geip_global_eip_id indicates level 1.

If an object is in a hierarchical system, specify the monitored dimension in hierarchical form when you use an API to query the metrics of this object.

For example, to query the outbound traffic (up_stream) of a global EIP, the dimension of the metric is geip_internet_bandwidth_id,geip_global_eip_id, where geip_internet_bandwidth_id indicates level 0 and geip_global_eip_id indicates level 1.
  • To query a single metric by calling an API, the mount_point dimension is used as follows: 
    dim.0=geip_internet_bandwidth_id,530cd6b0-86d7-4818-837f-935f6a27414d&dim.1=geip_global_eip_id,3773b058-5b4f-4366-9035-9bbd9964714a.

    530cd6b0-86d7-4818-837f-935f6a27414d and 3773b058-5b4f-4366-9035-9bbd9964714a are the dimension values of geip_internet_bandwidth_id and geip_global_eip_id, respectively. For details about how to obtain the values, see Dimensions.

  • To query multiple metrics by calling an API, the mount_point dimension is used as follows: 
    "dimensions": [
{
"name": "geip_internet_bandwidth_id",
"value": "530cd6b0-86d7-4818-837f-935f6a27414d"
},
{
"name": "geip_global_eip_id",
"value": "3773b058-5b4f-4366-9035-9bbd9964714a"
}
],

    530cd6b0-86d7-4818-837f-935f6a27414d and 3773b058-5b4f-4366-9035-9bbd9964714a are the dimension values of geip_internet_bandwidth_id and geip_global_eip_id, respectively. For details about how to obtain the values, see Dimensions.
