How to use the data monitoring service - ApsaraVideo VOD

ApsaraVideo VOD provides a data monitoring service. You can use this service to monitor your resources and track bandwidth and traffic in real time.

Background information

Data monitoring consists of two parts: Resource Monitoring and Real-time Monitoring.

Procedure

Log on to the ApsaraVideo VOD console.

In the navigation pane on the left, choose Data Center.

Choose Data Monitoring > Resource Monitoring to open the Resource Monitoring page.

Select a domain name, region, ISP, time granularity (5 minutes or 1 hour), and time range (Today, Yesterday, Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days, or custom) to view details for the following metrics.

Metric	Indicators
Bandwidth and traffic	Bandwidth, traffic.
Back-to-origin statistics	Origin bandwidth, back-to-origin traffic.
Access Count	Number of requests, queries per second (QPS).
Hit rate	None.
HTTP status codes	5xx, 4xx, 3xx, 2xx.

The data in resource monitoring graphs may differ from your billing data. For example, a 30-day statistics graph uses a data granularity of 14,400 s. Billing data uses a granularity of 300 s. The graph does not plot every data point and shows only general bandwidth trends. Your bandwidth charges are based on the more detailed billing data.

Note

The hit rate metric does not support filtering by region or ISP.

Choose Data Monitoring > Real-time Monitoring to open the Real-time Monitoring page.

Select a domain name, region, ISP, and time range (Last hour, Last 6 hours, Last 12 hours, or custom) to view details for the following metrics.

Metric	Indicators
Basic data	Bandwidth, traffic, number of requests, QPS.
Back-to-origin traffic	Back-to-origin traffic, origin bandwidth.
Quality monitoring	Request hit ratio, byte hit ratio, 5xx status codes, 4xx status codes, 3xx status codes, 2xx status codes.
