Cloud Config:Idle GPU detection for ECS instances

Last Updated:Jun 04, 2026

Checks whether the maximum GPU utilization of an ECS instance meets a specified threshold within a given time range. Non-GPU instances and unmonitored instances are marked as not applicable.

Risk level

Default risk level: Low.

You can adjust the risk level.

Detection logic

  • Compliant: the maximum GPU utilization within the specified time range meets or exceeds the threshold.

  • Not applicable: the instance is not monitored by CloudMonitor or has no monitoring data.

  • Not applicable: non-GPU ECS instances.

Default time range: 7 days. Detection uses CloudMonitor data APIs and consumes the basic CloudMonitor free quota. Enable Hybrid Cloud Monitoring for reliable detection. For Hybrid Cloud Monitoring billing, see CloudMonitor billing details.
