Cloud Monitor helps you stay on top of your Alibaba Cloud resources by collecting metrics, triggering alerts, and surfacing issues across all supported services.
Cloud service monitoring
Cloud Monitor tracks metrics across all Alibaba Cloud services in your account. For any resource, you can check its current status, review metric usage, and set alert rules so you're notified as soon as a threshold is crossed.
Host monitoring
Cloud Monitor tracks core performance metrics for your Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances — including CPU usage, memory usage, and disk usage — so you can confirm each instance is running as expected.
Timely troubleshooting
When a metric breaches a threshold, Cloud Monitor fires an alert notification based on your alert rules. This gets the right information to the right people quickly, so your team can identify, investigate, and resolve exceptions before they escalate.
Timely scaling
Set alert rules on metrics such as bandwidth, connections, and disk usage to stay ahead of capacity limits. When your workload grows, alert notifications give you the signal to scale out your cloud services before performance degrades.
Site monitoring
Catch site problems before your users do. Cloud Monitor probes your sites using HTTP (HTTPS), ICMP, TCP, UDP, DNS, SMTP, POP3, and FTP to measure availability, response time, and packet loss rate — giving you a complete picture of site health and early warning of any degradation.
Custom monitoring
When built-in metrics don't cover what matters to your business, define your own. Custom metrics are collected and reported to Cloud Monitor, which then displays monitoring charts and applies the same alert service you use for system metrics.
