OpenSearch:Use CloudMonitor to monitor applications

Last Updated:Mar 06, 2023

OpenSearch allows you to use CloudMonitor to monitor applications. CloudMonitor collects metrics, such as DocSizebyApp, ComputeResourcebyApp, and QPSbyApp. You can use CloudMonitor to monitor the resource usage of an application and configure alert rules for metrics.

Metrics

Metric

Description

DocSizebyApp

The total storage capacity that is used.

DocSizeRatiobyApp

The ratio of the storage usage to the document quota.

DocCountbyApp

The total number of documents.

QPSbyApp

The number of queries per second.

LossQPSbyApp

The number of queries that are throttled per second.

LatencybyApp

The duration of a single query, in milliseconds.

ComputeResourcebyApp

The number of logical computing units used for queries per second.

ComputeResourceRatiobyApp

The ratio of the logical computing units that are used for queries per second to the quota of logical computing units.

ComputeCostbyApp

The logical computing units that are consumed in a single query.

DailyPeakComputeResourcebyApp

The maximum number of logical computing units that can be used for queries per day.

APP Batch Import Throughput

The number of bytes that an application reads from a data source per second when full data is imported.

APP Batch Read TPS

The number of documents that an application reads from a database per second when full data is imported.

App Batch Write TPS

The number of documents that an application writes to an engine per second when full data is imported and processed. In data processing, data may be merged or processed by using plug-ins.

APP Realtime Input Throughput

The number of bytes that an application reads from a data source or by calling an API operation per second.

APP Realtime Trigger Latency

The latency in updating the real-time data to secondary tables.

APP Realtime Write Latency

The latency in updating the real-time data to the primary table.

APP RT Read TPS

The number of documents that an application reads from a data source or by calling an API operation per second.

APP RT Write TPS

The number of documents that an application writes to an engine per second when real-time data is imported and processed. In data processing, data may be merged or processed by using plug-ins.

APP Slave Trigger TPS

The number of documents updated in the primary table per second due to the update of secondary tables. For example, one entry in a secondary table is updated per second, and the number of entries in the primary table is three times that of entries in the secondary table. In this case, three entries in the primary table may be updated per second.

Application Realtime Push Throttling QPS

The number of times that an application pushes data per second to trigger throttling.

Enable the initiative alert feature

By default, the initiative alert feature of CloudMonitor supports only the following metrics: DocSizeRatiobyApp, ComputeResourceRatiobyApp, LossQPSbyApp, and APP Realtime Write Latency. You can enable the initiative alert feature by performing the following steps:

  1. Log on to the OpenSearch console by using your Alibaba Cloud account. In the upper-left corner of the page, move the pointer over the place where the OpenSearch edition is displayed and select OpenSearch High-performance Search Edition.
