Functions

This section describes the main functions of Application Operations Management (AOM). You can check if a certain function is available in a region on the console.

Access Center

AOM provides all-scenario data ingestion capabilities. Metrics, traces, and logs can be ingested from the business layer (such as Android, iOS, and webs), component layer (such as Java and Go), middleware layer (such as Redis and MySQL), running environment layer (such as ECS and Kubernetes), and cloud service layer, or using APIs and open-source protocols (such as OpenTelemetry and Kafka). It also provides UniAgents to manage the lifecycle of data collection plug-ins. For more information, see Connecting to AOM and (New) Connecting to AOM.

Dashboards

AOM provides more than 30 out-of-the-box dashboards and also enables you to customize your own dashboards. The dashboards support multiple graphs, such as tables, pies, maps, and line graphs. You can add custom variables and filters to screen metrics and logs for operations analysis. For more information, see Dashboard Monitoring.

Alarm Center

AOM centrally manages Prometheus and log alarm rules, alarm templates, and notification objects. It has more than 100 preset alarm templates and supports alarm grouping, suppression, and silence to reduce noise. You can customize message templates and receive notifications through emails, SMS, voice, WeCom, DingTalk, Lark, and Webhook. For more information, see Alarm Monitoring.

Log Management

AOM provides all-scenario log collection, search of tens of billions of logs in seconds, PB-level storage, one-stop log processing, visualized log SQL analysis, and log transfer capabilities, meeting application O&M, security compliance, and operations analysis requirements. For more information, see (New) Log Management and (Old) Log Management.

Prometheus Monitoring

AOM is interconnected with the open-source Prometheus ecosystem to provide fully hosted Prometheus services. It also supports PromQL query and metric browsing. Prometheus data can be remotely read and written. In addition, it supports interconnection with Grafana. For more information, see Prometheus Monitoring.

Infrastructure Monitoring

AOM collects monitoring data from hosts (processes) and containers (such as workloads and pods), displays infrastructure data (such as CPU/memory/disk usage and logs of hosts), and associates monitoring data for analysis. For more information, see Infrastructure Monitoring.

Application Performance & User Experience Monitoring

AOM analyzes the latency and exceptions from webs/apps to application microservices/databases/middleware, enabling O&M personnel to quickly locate root causes and identify application performance bottlenecks, thereby protecting user experience. For more information, see Intelligent Insights.

Settings

AOM provides service authorization, authentication management, global configuration, data subscription, and collection settings. Through service authorization, you can grant the current user the permissions to access cloud service data in one click. Through authentication management, you can create an access code and configure API call permissions for the current user. Through global configuration, you can enable or disable metric collection and Tag Management Service (TMS) tag display. Through data subscription, you can subscribe to metrics or alarms. Through collection settings, you can manage UniAgents, collection plug-ins, collectors in CCE clusters, host groups, and proxy areas, and check the operation logs of UniAgents and collection plug-ins. For more information, see Global Settings and Managing Collector Base UniAgent.
