Monitoring Metrics

Overview

This section describes the namespace, the metrics that can be monitored by Cloud Eye, and dimensions of these metrics. You can use APIs provided by Cloud Eye to query the metrics of a monitored object and generated alarms.

a: If a service is being monitored from multiple dimensions, include all dimensions when you use APIs to query the metrics.

Example of querying a single metric from both dimensions: dim.0=lbaas_instance_id,223e9eed-2b02-4ed2-a126-7e806a6fee1f&dim.1=lbaas_listener_id,3baa7335-8886-4867-8481-7cbba967a917

Example of querying metrics in batches from both dimensions:

"dimensions": [
{
"name": "lbaas_instance_id",
"value": "223e9eed-2b02-4ed2-a126-7e806a6fee1f"
}
{
"name": "lbaas_listener_id",
"value": "3baa7335-8886-4867-8481-7cbba967a917"
}
],

Dimensions

Key	Value
lbaas_instance_id	ID of a dedicated load balancer ID of a shared load balancer
lbaas_listener_id	ID of a listener added to a dedicated load balancer ID of a listener added to a shared load balancer
lbaas_pool_id	ID of the backend server group
