Viewing Dashboards

Scenarios

Dashboards track the running statuses and metrics of TaurusDB instances.

  • You can view real-time performance metrics and trends of all instances in your account. This allows you to quickly identify and address any abnormal instances.
  • You can also view historical performance metrics.
  • You can use custom dashboards to observe specific instances and metrics.

Constraints

  • The name of a custom dashboard cannot exceed 128 characters.
  • Custom dashboard names cannot be changed.

Viewing Dashboards

  1. Log in to the TaurusDB console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region.
  3. In the navigation pane, choose Dashboard.
  4. View the real-time performance metrics of TaurusDB instances created under the current account.

    Table 1 Parameter description

    Parameter

    Description

    Node Name/ID

    Only monitoring data for the nodes of created TaurusDB instances is displayed.

    Status

    The value can be:

    • Normal: Real-time monitoring data is displayed.
      NOTE:

      The monitoring data and charts are available for a new instance after the instance runs for about 10 minutes.

    • Abnormal: There is no monitoring data. The default values for all metrics are 0. The monitoring data is only available after the instance becomes normal.
    • Stopped: There is no monitoring data. The default values for all metrics are 0. The monitoring data is only available after the instance is started.

    Node Type

    The value can be:

    • Primary
    • Replica

    Availability Zone

    AZ where a node is located

    Private IP Address

    Private IP address of a node

    Failover Priority

    Failover priority of a node

    Metrics

    For details about metric description and handling suggestions for abnormal metrics, see Table 2. The following metrics are available:

    • CPU Usage
    • Memory Usage
    • TPS
    • QPS

    Item

    Description

    Handling Suggestion

    Reference

    CPU Usage

    CPU usage of the monitored object
    • Evaluate the SQL execution plan and add indexes to avoid full table scanning.
    • Upgrade vCPUs for compute-intensive workloads.

    What Should I Do If the CPU Usage of My TaurusDB Instance Is High?

    Memory Usage

    Memory usage of the monitored object
    • Upgrade instance specifications.
    • Optimize SQL statements to reduce the use of temporary tables.
    • Reconnect sessions at a specific interval to release memory of the sessions.

    How Do I Handle a Large Number of Temporary Tables Being Generated for Long Transactions and High Memory Usage?

    TPS

    Execution times of submitted and rollback transactions per second
    • Evaluate the SQL execution plan and add indexes to avoid full table scanning.
    • Upgrade vCPUs for compute-intensive workloads.

    What Should I Do If the CPU Usage of My TaurusDB Instance Is High?

    QPS

    Query times of SQL statements (including stored procedures) per second
Select one or more nodes in the real-time metric list and then view their historical metrics in the Historical Metrics area.
Figure 2 Viewing historical metrics
  • You can view the metrics of up to six nodes at a time.
  • You can view the performance metrics in the last 1 hour, last 3 hours, last 12 hours, last 24 hours, or last 7 days. You can also configure a time period.
  • You can move the cursor to a point in time of a chart to view the performance metric at that point in time.

Custom Dashboards

  1. Log in to the TaurusDB console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region.
  3. In the navigation pane, choose Dashboard.
  4. Click the Custom Dashboard tab.
  5. Select a dashboard. By default, the classic view dashboard is displayed. You can also click Add, enter a dashboard name (up to 128 characters), and select instances and metrics to create a custom dashboard.

    Figure 4 Creating a custom dashboard

  6. Click OK.
  7. Return to the Custom Dashboard tab page and view details about the new dashboard.

    Figure 5 Viewing a custom dashboard

    • You can filter target instances, search for metrics in the text box, and view the metrics of the selected instances.
      Figure 6 Viewing the CPU usage

    • You can view the metrics in the last 1 hour, 3 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, or 7 days.

  8. Delete or modify custom dashboard settings.

    • Deleting a custom dashboard

      Click Delete next to the dashboard name. In the displayed dialog box, click OK to delete the dashboard.

    • Modifying a custom dashboard

      Click Edit next to the dashboard name, add or delete instances and metrics, and click OK.
