Advantages

Table 1 Advantages

Out-of-the-box usability

  • Installs and deploys Kubernetes and cloud products in a few clicks.
  • Connects to various application components and alarm tools in a few clicks.

Low cost

  • Multiple metrics, including those of standard Kubernetes components, are free of charge.
  • Provides fully hosted services and eliminates the need to purchase additional resources, reducing monitoring costs and generating almost zero maintenance costs.
  • Integrates with CCE for monitoring services, reducing the time for creating a container monitoring system from 2 days to 10 minutes. A Prometheus instance for CCE can report the data of multiple CCE clusters.

Open-source compatibility

  • Supports custom multi-dimensional data models, HTTP API modules, and PromQL query.
  • Monitored objects can be discovered through static file configuration and dynamic discovery, facilitating migration and access.

Unlimited data

  • Supports cloud storage. There is no limit on the data to store. Distributed storage on the cloud ensures data reliability.
  • Supports the Prometheus instance for multi-account aggregation. Therefore, metric data of multiple accounts can be aggregated for unified monitoring.

High performance

  • Is more lightweight and consumes fewer resources than open-source products. Uses single-process integrated Agents to monitor Kubernetes clusters, improving collection performance by 20 times.
  • Deploys Agents on the user side to retain the native collection capability and minimize resource usage.
  • Uses the collection-storage-separated architecture to improve the overall performance.
  • Optimizes the collection component to improve the single-replica collection capability and reduce resource consumption.
  • Balances collection tasks through multi-replica horizontal expansion to implement dynamic scaling and solve open-source horizontal expansion problems.

High availability

  • Dual-replica: Data collection, processing, and storage components support multi-replica horizontal expansion, ensuring the high availability of core data links.
  • Horizontal expansion: Elastic scaling can be performed based on the cluster sca
