Using the Microservice Dashboard

You can view metrics related to microservices through the dashboard in real time. Based on abundant and real-time dashboard data, you can take corresponding governance actions for microservices.

Background

If a microservice application is deployed on ServiceStage, you need to configure the microservice engine during application deployment. The application automatically obtains the service registry and discovery address, configuration center address, and dashboard address. You do not need to configure the monitor address.
If the microservice application is locally started and registered with the microservice engine, manually configure the monitor address before using the dashboard.

Procedure

Select the target microservice engine from the Microservice Engine drop-down list in the upper part of the page.
Choose Dashboard.
- For microservice engines with security authentication disabled, go to 4.
- For microservice engines with security authentication enabled, go to 3.
In the displayed Security Authentication dialog box, enter the account name and password, and click OK.
- If you connect to the microservice engine for the first time, enter the account name root and the password entered when creating the microservice engine.
- For details about how to create an account, see Adding an Account.
On the Dashboard page, select an application from the drop-down list box and enter a microservice name in the search box. The operating metrics of the microservice are displayed.
