Metrics Collection¶

Guance, equipped with global data collection capability, supports a variety of standard collectors. It can quickly configure data sources and easily collect hundreds of types of data.

Data Collection¶

There are two ways to collect metrics, and the prerequisite is that you need to create Guance Account and install DataKit on your host.

• The first way: log in to the studio and enter the Integration page. After installing DataKit, open the collectors that need to collect metrics, such as CPU collector and Nginx collector;
• The second way: with the help of DataKit API and custom writing of metric data through DataKit, Guance provides a DataFlux Func processing platform. It integrates a large number of existing functions to help you quickly report data for overall observation.

If you need to delete measurements in workspace, enter Management > Basic Settings, click Delete Specified Measurement, enter the complete measurement name and click Confirm to delete.

Notes:

• Only space owners and administrators are allowed to do this;
• Once the measurement is deleted, it cannot be restored. Please be careful.
