Monitoring OBS

Scenarios

In the use of OBS, you may send PUT and GET requests that generate upload and download traffic, or receive error responses from the server. Huawei Cloud provides Cloud Eye to help you monitor OBS and better understand your bucket statuses. To keep informed of the requests, traffic, and error responses in a timely manner, you can use Cloud Eye to perform automatic and real-time monitoring over your buckets.

You do not need to separately subscribe to Cloud Eye. It starts automatically once you create a resource (a bucket, for example) in OBS. For more information about Cloud Eye, see Introduction to Cloud Eye.
