Overview

Solution Introduction

After purchasing a BMS, you want to know its running status. Bare Metal Server (BMS) works with the Cloud Eye service to automatically collect monitoring metrics, such as the CPU, memory, disk, and network usage of a BMS. These metrics help you learn about the running status and performance of your BMS in time.

This document is prepared based on the BMS and Cloud Eye practices and provides guidance for you to configure server monitoring for BMSs.

Constraints

Agent can be installed only on BMSs running a 64-bit Linux OS.
An agency must be configured for monitoring BMSs. For details, see How Do I Create an Agency for Server Monitoring of the BMS?.
Only CN North-Beijing1 (cn-north-1), CN South-Guangzhou (cn-south-1), AP-Bangkok (ap-southeast-2), and CN-Hong Kong (ap-southeast-1) are supported now.

Private images do not support this function.

Table 1 lists the Linux images that support server monitoring.
