Billing Method

Application Monitoring

You can monitor Java applications that run in distributed architectures and view application topologies, API calls, abnormal transactions, and slow transactions.

  • Performance tuning before and after stress testing

  • End-to-end monitoring after microservices transformation

  • 24/7 status monitoring and alerting of applications

Billing overview

Browser Monitoring

You can monitor the health status of web pages and mini programs based on the page loading speed, page stability, and call success rate of external services.

  • Quick troubleshooting of reported errors

  • Auxiliary content delivery network selection

  • User experience optimization of websites

Billing overview

Managed Service for Prometheus

Managed Service for Prometheus is a managed monitoring service that is provided by Alibaba Cloud. The service is compatible with the open source Prometheus ecosystem, and allows you to monitor a wide variety of components.

Collection, storage, and visualization of multiple types of metrics

Billing overview

Managed Service for Grafana

You can use Managed Service for Grafana to start the Grafana runtime environment without the need for O&M. Managed Service for Grafana helps you efficiently analyze and view metrics, logs, and traces. You do not need to pay attention to complicated tasks such as server configurations and software updates. This improves O&M efficiency and reduces your workloads.

  • Centralized display of O&M and monitoring dashboards

  • Integration of self-managed data sources

  • Multi-dimensional data query

Billing rules

Kubernetes Monitoring

You can use Kubernetes Monitoring to monitor the resources and containers on the nodes of Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) clusters in real time and visualize performance metrics.

Application Security

Application Security is developed based on the Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) technology. Application Security can provide runtime self-protection for applications and protect your applications against the attacks that attackers exploit most unknown vulnerabilities to launch.

  • Protection against security vulnerabilities

  • Identifying security risks of third-party components

Customer feedback

AIA

We have built a top-down observability system based on ARMS to maximize our business benefits and monitor the full lifecycle from R & D to production. We used the ARMS agent to collect trace data and performance data, Prometheus exporters to collect container cluster data, Prometheus Service to store the monitoring data of container clusters and applications, and Log Service to store logs and trace data.

New Carzone

We are using various ARMS sub-services, including Application Monitoring, Prometheus Service, Grafana Service, and Alert Management. Prometheus Service and Alert Management helped us implement efficient alerting based on DingTalk ChatOps and alert handling 24/7.
