Cloud Monitor:Dashboards

Last Updated:May 27, 2026

You must enable Hybrid Cloud Monitoring before you use it for the first time. Hybrid Cloud Monitoring uses pay-as-you-go billing. Enabling the service is free; you pay based on actual usage. Features include dashboards, resource usage reports, second-level monitoring, and real-time data exporting.

Description

Scenarios

Suitable for:

  • Longer monitoring data retention.

  • Integrated multicloud, hybrid cloud, and cross-account monitoring.

  • Flexible custom metrics.

Billing Cycle

Billed daily.

Daily fee = data points from the metric repository × unit price for the selected storage duration.

Default storage duration: cms.s1.3xlarge (93 days).

Billing formula

Dashboard fee = Number of data points × Unit price

Note

A data point is one metric value at one point in time. Examples:

  • The CPU utilization (CPUUtilization) metric value for one ECS instance at a given time = one data point.

  • The disk usage (diskusage_used) metric value for one ECS disk at a given time = one data point.

  • An SLB instance with two listeners: the ActiveConnection metric values for both listeners at a given time = two data points.

Billing examples

Tiered billing examples for the cms.s1.3xlarge (93-day) storage duration:

  • Example 1: 280 million data points collected in one day for the metrics in the namespace:

    Fee = 200 million data points × (0.004331 USD / 10,000 points) + (280 million - 200 million) data points × (0.00315 USD / 10,000 points) = 111.82 USD

  • Example 2: 200 ECS instances with 10 instance-level metrics each, 1-minute collection epoch, in the dashboard's metric repository. Daily fee:

    1. Data points = 200 instances × 10 monitoring metrics per instance × 60 minutes × 24 hours = 2.88 million

    2. Cost = 2.88 million data points × USD 0.004331 per 10,000 data points = USD 1.247328
