CloudMonitor dashboards are customizable pages that can be used to monitor data from multiple products and instances in all one area.

View a dashboard

You can quickly view the resources used by each cloud product on its corresponding dashboard.

Note
  • By default, CloudMonitor displays the ECS global dashboard and part of your ECS monitoring data.
  • You can add the monitoring data of other cloud products as needed.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the CloudMonitor Console.
  2. In the left-side navigation pane, select Dashboard and click Custom Dashboard. The Dashboards page is displayed.
  3. Select the target dashboard from the Dashboards drop-down list. You can switch the dashboard view by selecting different dashboards.

Create a dashboard

You can create a dashboard and customize the view to meet your specific requirements in complex service scenarios.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the CloudMonitor Console.
  2. In the left-side navigation pane, select Dashboard and click Custom Dashboard. The Dashboards page is displayed.

Add a monitoring chart

You can add major cloud product metrics and your service metrics to the dashboard.

If you use multiple cloud products for your application, you can add the cloud product metrics to the same dashboard by adding a chart, so that you can view the global cloud product monitoring data.

When you report your service monitoring data by using the CloudMonitor API, you can add a chart to display the monitoring data.

Procedure

For details, see Add charts.
