Overview

Container Intelligent Analysis (CIA) is a next-generation O&M platform for cloud native containers. It monitors applications and resources in real time, collects metrics and events to analyze application health, and visualizes multi-dimensional data. Compatible with mainstream open source components, it supports quick fault locating.

Functions

Container Insights comprehensively monitors Kubernetes native containers, provides the resource overview of clusters, nodes, and workloads, and displays node resource usage, workload resource consumption, and CPU/memory metrics in the past hour for the health and load of clusters.
Health Diagnosis periodically checks the health statuses of clusters, including the resource usage of clusters and nodes as well as running statuses of workloads and pods.
Dashboard displays different graphs such as line graphs and digit graphs on the same screen, which lets you view comprehensive monitoring data.

Advantages

CIA is deeply integrated with Prometheus, a mature monitoring project of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), and complies with the OpenTracing and OpenTelemetry specifications. It brings in observability for your cloud native applications by collecting, storing, and visually presenting O&M data, such as key metrics and events.
It provides full-stack monitoring from cloud native infrastructure resources to applications, enabling users to clearly perceive the infrastructure and application load status anytime and anywhere.
It monitors Kubernetes clusters and container pods, provides end-to-end tracing and visualization for services, and provides cluster health diagnosis capabilities, greatly shortening the fault analysis and locating time.
It provides ready-to-use add-ons, data collection, and dashboard-based monitoring. Compared with monitoring products developed based on open source technologies, it is more competitive in reliability, availability, and deployment.

Constraints

Only Huawei Cloud accounts or users with the UCS FullAccess or UCS CIAOperations (recommended) permission can perform container analysis operations.
Currently, metrics and events of on-premises clusters and attached clusters can be reported to AOM 2.0 and LTS only in CN North-Beijing4. CIA can be enabled for Huawei Cloud clusters only in CN North-Beijing4 and CN East-Shanghai1.
