The resource center displays two types of resources: the instance list and the process list.
Prerequisites
The application connects to ECS Insight.
Try in Playground
Alibaba Cloud Playground provides a demo environment where you can experience the main features of Cloud Monitor 2.0.
-
Go to the Playground Demo. The workspace page is displayed by default.
-
In the navigation bar, select ECS Insight. Alternatively, from the All Features menu, select ECS Insight.
-
In the ECS Insight navigation bar, select Overview to view the ECS Insight overview.
-
Choose . Click an Instance ID and select Instance Overview or Associated Topology to view the instance overview and topology.
Instance list
In ECS Insight, navigate to Resource Center > Instance List to view a list of your ECS instances.
Query conditions
Set query conditions to filter the information. The following example uses two conditions:
-
domain = acs
-
type = acs.ecs.instance
Page layout
The page includes the following sections:
-
ECS Instance ID: The ID of the ECS instance from which logs are collected.
-
ECS Instance IP: The IP address of the ECS instance from which logs are collected.
-
Region: The region where the ECS instance resides.
-
Instance Status: The running status of the ECS instance.
-
Security Group: The security group to which the ECS instance belongs.
-
Virtual Private Cloud (VPC): The VPC that the ECS instance uses.
Instance overview
Click an ECS instance name to view its overview, which provides single-instance observability. After you connect to agentless metrics (Cloud Monitor metrics), the infrastructure monitoring dashboard for the Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance is displayed with the following information:
-
Infrastructure resource consumption monitoring, system load monitoring, and basic network monitoring.
-
GPU infrastructure monitoring data is shown only for GPU hosts. For other instance types, this section is empty.
Associated topology
This view shows the upstream and downstream topology of an instance, including its relationships with upstream resources such as the VPC, and internal components such as network interface controllers (NICs), disks, and security groups.
Dashboards
View all dashboards related to the instance, such as the instance audit dashboard and the instance metric dashboard.
-
The instance audit dashboard displays system log statistics and details.
-
The instance metric dashboard provides advanced monitoring, including host process, host network, and GPU monitoring.
Logstores
View all Logstores in the workspace, such as those for ECS system logs, ECS host events, and security alert events. These Logstores contain data from all connected ECS instances in the workspace.
Metric stores
View all metric stores in the workspace, such as those for ECS host infrastructure metrics, ECS host process metrics, ECS host node metrics, and GPU host infrastructure metrics. These metric stores contain data from all connected ECS instances in the workspace.
Entity topology
View the Alibaba Cloud observable entity topology graph. You can set multiple view modes and levels.
Process list
In ECS Insight, navigate to Resource Center > Process List to view the process list for your ECS instances. This page provides global process insights and analysis, including:
-
Cross-sectional insights into the resource consumption of processes on an instance, including real-time comparisons and time series analysis of CPU, memory, disk, and network usage.
-
A detailed list of processes on an instance, including PID, runtime, start command, and resource consumption.
-
Network insights for processes on an instance, including inbound and outbound network speeds, inbound and outbound packet counts, and the number of connections.
-
Statistics on the number and status distribution of child processes and subthreads for processes on an instance.
-
System calls for processes on an instance, including I/O read and write speeds and the number of file descriptors.
