The basic monitoring feature is provided only for Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances. The monitoring data is reported by ECS. You can view the monitoring data of basic monitoring metrics and configure alert rules for them without the need to install the CloudMonitor agent. If the value of a metric reaches the alert condition, an alert notification is sent to you so that you can monitor the metric in a timely manner.
Metrics
The basic monitoring data of ECS instances is collected at a time interval of one minute. The following table describes the metrics.
Metric | Description | Unit | MetricName | Dimensions | Statistics |
(ECS) CPU Utilization | CPU utilization | % | CPUUtilization | userId and instanceId | Maximum, Minimum, and Average |
(ECS)InternetInRate(Classic Network) | Average rate of inbound traffic over the Internet | bit/s | InternetInRate | userId and instanceId | Maximum, Minimum, and Average |
(ECS)IntranetInRate | Average rate of inbound traffic over the internal network | bit/s | IntranetInRate | userId and instanceId | Maximum, Minimum, and Average |
(ECS)InternetOutRate(Classic Network) | Average rate of outbound traffic over the Internet | bit/s | InternetOutRate | userId and instanceId | Maximum, Minimum, and Average |
(ECS)IntranetOutRate | Average rate of outbound traffic over the internal network | bit/s | IntranetOutRate | userId and instanceId | Maximum, Minimum, and Average |
(ECS)DiskReadBPS | Number of bytes that are read from the system disk per second | Byte/s | DiskReadBPS | userId and instanceId | Maximum, Minimum, and Average |
(ECS)DiskWriteBPS | Number of bytes that are written to the system disk per second | Byte/s | DiskWriteBPS | userId and instanceId | Maximum, Minimum, and Average |
(ECS)DiskReadIOPS | Number of read operations that are performed on the system disk per second | Count/s | DiskReadIOPS | userId and instanceId | Maximum, Minimum, and Average |
(ECS)DiskWriteIOPS | Number of write operations that are performed on the system disk per second | Count/s | DiskWriteIOPS | userId and instanceId | Average, Minimum, and Maximum |
(ECS)InternetInRate_IP | Inbound bandwidth over the Internet | bit/s | VPC_PublicIP_InternetInRate | userId, instanceId, and ip | Maximum, Minimum, and Average |
(ECS)InternetOutRate_IP | Outbound bandwidth over the Internet | bit/s | VPC_PublicIP_InternetOutRate | userId, instanceId, and ip | Maximum, Minimum, and Average |
(ECS)InternetOutRatePercent_IP | Utilization of the outbound bandwidth over the Internet | % | VPC_PublicIP_InternetOutRate_Percent | userId, instanceId, and ip | Average |
(ECS)InternetIn(Classic Network) | Inbound traffic over the Internet | Byte | InternetIn | userId and instanceId | Average, Minimum, Maximum, and Sum |
(ECS)InternetOut(Classic Network) | Outbound traffic over the Internet | Byte | InternetOut | userId and instanceId | Maximum, Minimum, and Average |
(ECS)IntranetInRate | Inbound traffic over the internal network | Byte | IntranetInRate | userId and instanceId | Maximum, Minimum, and Average |
View the basic monitoring data
Log on to the CloudMonitor console.
In the left-side navigation pane, click .
On the Host Monitoring page, click the host name or click Monitoring Charts in the Actions column of the host.
Click the Basic Monitoring tab.
On the Basic Monitoring tab, you can view the basic monitoring data of your host. You can also configure alert rules for specific metrics and view alerts. For more information, see Step 2: Create an alert rule for your host and Step 3: View alerts.
