Overview
What Is Server Monitoring?
Monitoring is critical to ensuring the reliability, availability, and performance of FlexusX instances. It allows you to view instance resources and learn instance statuses in real time. You can use Cloud Eye to automatically monitor FlexusX instances in real time and manage alarms and notifications. This helps you keep track of performance metrics of FlexusX instances.
- Basic monitoring monitors metrics automatically reported by FlexusX instances, such as CPU usage.
- OS monitoring provides proactive, fine-grained OS monitoring for FlexusX instances, and it requires the Agent to be installed on all FlexusX instances to be monitored.
- Process monitoring monitors active processes on FlexusX instances, and it requires the Agent to be installed on the FlexusX instances to be monitored. By default, Cloud Eye collects CPU usage, memory usage, and the number of opened files of active processes.
For details about metrics, see Basic ECS Metrics, OS Monitoring Metrics Supported by ECSs with the Agent Installed and Process Monitoring Metrics Supported by ECSs with the Agent Installed.
Enabling Monitoring
On the FlexusX instance purchase page, you can choose whether to use Cloud Eye. Regardless of whether you use Cloud Eye or not, after a FlexusX instance is created, basic monitoring is provided for your instance by default. On the FlexusX instance purchase page:
- If you select Cloud Eye, you will be able to view basic monitoring, OS monitoring, and process monitoring data on the FlexusX console. The OS monitoring and process monitoring data can be viewed only after the Agent is installed.
Figure 1 Selecting Cloud Eye
- If you do not select Cloud Eye, you will only view the basic monitoring data provided on the FlexusX console.
If you want to view OS monitoring or process monitoring data, install the Agent, and then view the OS monitoring or process monitoring data on the Cloud Eye console.
Whether Cloud Eye is displayed on the FlexusX console depends on the selected images. Certain public images do not support Cloud Eye.
