Monitoring Metrics

Overview

This section describes the namespace, list, and measurement dimensions of metrics of EIPs and 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.

• 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 dimension information of a monitoring metric is "bandwidth_id,publicip_id", the dimension of "bandwidth_id" is numbered 0 and that of "publicip_id" is 1.
• 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.

Monitoring Metrics

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 an EIP, the dimension of the metric is bandwidth_id,publicip_id, where bandwidth_id indicates level 0 and publicip_id indicates level 1.

• To query a single metric by calling an API, the mount_point dimension is used as follows:

  dim.0=bandwidth_id,530cd6b0-86d7-4818-837f-935f6a27414d&dim.1=publicip_id,3773b058-5b4f-4366-9035-9bbd9964714a

  530cd6b0-86d7-4818-837f-935f6a27414d and 3773b058-5b4f-4366-9035-9bbd9964714a are the dimension values of bandwidth_id and publicip_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": "bandwidth_id",
  "value": "530cd6b0-86d7-4818-837f-935f6a27414d"
  }
  {
  "name": "publicip_id",
  "value": "3773b058-5b4f-4366-9035-9bbd9964714a"
  }
  ]

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