    Cloud Monitor:Custom method monitoring

    Last Updated:Jun 22, 2026

    You can define custom methods in Application Monitoring to monitor methods and interfaces beyond those automatically discovered by the monitoring agent.

    Prerequisites

    The application must be connected to Cloud Monitor 2.0.

    Define a custom monitoring method

    1. Log on to the Cloud Monitor 2.0 console, and select a workspace. In the left navigation pane, choose Application Center > Application Observability > Application Insights.

    2. On the Application List page, click the name of the target application. Then, in the top navigation bar, choose Application Settings > Custom Method Monitoring.

    3. In the upper-right corner, click Add Method.

    4. In the Add Custom Method dialog box, set the following parameters and click OK.

      Parameter

      Description

      Full method name

      The name of the method to monitor. The name must be unique.

      Enable this feature

      Enables monitoring for this method. The method is also displayed in the local method stack. For more information, see Call chain analysis. This feature is enabled by default.

      Note

      You can enable or disable this feature without restarting the application.

      Set as business invocation entry point

      If you set a method as a business invocation entry point, you can perform business queries on it through the call chain. The corresponding interface is also displayed in the Provided Services module. For more information, see Provided Services. This feature is disabled by default.

      Note

      If multiple custom methods in a call stack are set as business invocation entry points, only the monitoring information of the last method is collected. (For example, if function A calls function B and you add custom instrumentation for both functions, only the information for function B is collected.)
