Cloud Monitoring

You can respond to failures in real time by checking cloud monitoring service metrics. When using the cloud services, the failures that affect the operation often occur. For example, there may be problems with the user asset status, host machine (physical server computer), or network.

It is also a good idea to know in advance whether there are any anomalies in the cloud namespace or region. It is very helpful in responding to failures that occur in the cloud infrastructure in the future.

After connecting the WhaTap cloud provider's APIs, Cloud Monitoring can collect all metrics and events in real time. Typically, there are two metrics:

  • Metrics to determine whether your instances (virtual servers) are healthy
  • Cloud service provider's own availability metrics

Metrics collection interval can be adjusted from real time (5 minutes) to 3 hours for cost optimization.

If you use the WhaTap cloud monitoring, you can check the collected data on the Flex board. An immediate analysis of the causes of failures is possible.

You can also set alerts by email, SMS, and messenger (Slack, Telegram, etc.).

Note
  • Namespace is a way to group services for an application.
  • A region in the cloud indicates a set of data centers that are installed to provide cloud services.
  • If you select a region, the user data is stored in the data centers of the region.
  • Select a project and then check the cloud monitoring in Management > Cloud Monitoring under the Project Menu.
