Cloud Monitor provides comprehensive visibility into your cloud products and services, helping you maintain performance and reliability. It automatically collects key performance metrics, monitors the availability of your network, systems, and applications, and allows you to configure proactive alerts so you can respond to potential issues in advance. This service helps you maintain a high-performing and reliable infrastructure without the need to deploy or manage a complex monitoring system yourself.

Seamless Activation and Broad Compatibility

Your Cloud Monitor service is activated automatically when you register an account. No additional purchase or setup is required. It integrates with a wide range of products, including security services, cloud servers, cloud databases, and load balancers. The service also supports common network protocols such as HTTP and ICMP to help ensure continuous application availability monitoring.

Reminder: No additional configuration is required to enable Cloud Monitor after account registration.

Real-Time and Centralized Monitoring

Gain immediate visibility into resource utilization, current performance status, and potential bottlenecks. The intuitive dashboard centralizes all monitoring data, allowing you to quickly assess the health and status of your services.

Rich Metrics and Aggregated Views

Access a wide range of monitoring metrics. The service displays statistics such as maximum and minimum values within your selected time range. You can also aggregate data sources. For example, you can view the combined CPU usage of all servers in a group on a single chart for an overall view of resource consumption.

Flexible and Proactive Alerting

Create custom alert policies based on specific metric thresholds. When a threshold is exceeded, the system immediately sends notifications through your configured channels, such as email or SMS. This helps ensure rapid awareness of issues, enabling faster response and resolution. You can organize recipients into contact groups so alerts are delivered to the right people and your team’s workflow is more streamlined.

Efficient Group Management

Organize your resources into logical application groups. This allows you to view monitoring data and manage alert rules for each group, significantly improving operational efficiency and configuration management.

Common Use Cases

Cloud Monitor is essential for maintaining a scalable and reliable operating environment. Below are two common scenarios where it provides significant value.

Accelerate Incident Response

When system metrics exceed a predefined alert threshold, the monitoring service immediately sends a notification. Your team can begin troubleshooting anomalies right away, minimizing or preventing negative impact on business operations.

Enable Capacity Planning and Scaling

Continuous tracking of critical metrics such as Requests and bandwidth usage helps you identify performance trends and forecast future needs. When you receive alerts about sustained high resource utilization, you can scale resources proactively to maintain service quality and avoid performance degradation.
