Verification

  1. In 「Management / Automatic Trigger Configuration」 confirm that the corresponding task exists with the appropriate automatic trigger configuration, and you can check the task records and logs to ensure there are no anomalies.
  2. In Guance, 「Infrastructure / Custom」 check if asset information exists.
  3. In Guance, 「Metrics」 check if there is corresponding monitoring data.

Metrics

After configuring Alibaba Cloud - Cloud Monitoring, the default metric set is as follows. You can collect more metrics through configuration. Alibaba Cloud Cloud Monitoring Metric Details
