New Inspection¶

• Cloud Idle Resources Intelligent Inspection: Cloud computing, as a rapidly developing new IT service method, provides enterprises and individuals with convenient, fast, and flexible IT infrastructure and application services, bringing extremely high efficiency and cost-effectiveness. However, as cloud resources gradually become a major part of enterprise data centers, the problem of massive waste of resources in the cloud becomes more significant. Especially within the enterprise scope, due to factors such as demand fluctuations and isolation between departments, some cloud resources cannot be fully utilized, resulting in a large amount of idle resources. This situation leads to a linear increase in the cost of enterprise cloud services, a decrease in resource efficiency, and a potential reduction in security and performance levels. In order to better manage and optimize idle resources in the cloud, and to improve the usage benefits and resource utilization of cloud computing, it is essential to inspect idle resources in the cloud. Through inspection, unnecessary resources in the current cloud services can be discovered and processed promptly, avoiding problems such as cost overhead, data leakage, and poor performance due to long-term unnecessary resource usage.
• Host Restart Intelligent Inspection: Host abnormal restart monitoring is an important aspect of modern internet system operation and maintenance. On the one hand, the stability and reliability of computer systems are crucial for the smooth operation of businesses and the user experience. When a host experiences abnormal restarts or other issues, it may lead to system crashes, service interruptions, and data loss, which in turn affect business operations and user satisfaction. On the other hand, with the increasing number and scale of hosts in cloud computing and virtualization environments, system complexity is also constantly increasing, as is the probability of problems occurring. This requires system administrators to use relevant system monitoring tools for real-time monitoring and promptly discover and resolve abnormal restarts and other issues. Therefore, implementing host abnormal restart monitoring in a reasonable manner can help enterprises quickly diagnose problems, reduce business risks, improve operation and maintenance efficiency, and enhance user experience.

• Idle Resources Intelligent Inspection: As the business grows, the amount of resource usage also increases, making enterprise data centers larger and larger, and the problem of waste from idle servers becomes more significant. Especially within the enterprise scope, due to factors such as demand fluctuations and isolation between departments, some servers cannot be fully utilized, resulting in a large amount of idle resources. This situation leads to a linear increase in the cost of enterprise cloud services, a decrease in resource efficiency, and a potential reduction in security and performance levels.

New Inspections¶

• RUM Performance Intelligent Integration: Real User Monitoring (RUM) is an application performance monitoring technology designed to evaluate website performance by simulating the behavior of real users browsing the site. The goal of RUM is to understand website performance from the user's perspective, including website load times, page rendering effects, page element loading status, and interaction response. The main use case of RUM performance inspection is for client-side websites, such as e-commerce websites, financial websites, entertainment websites, and so on, which all need to provide users with a fast and smooth browsing experience. By analyzing the results of RUM performance, developers can quickly understand the user's actual experience and improve website performance.
• Kubernetes Health Intelligent Integration: Nowadays, Kubernetes has taken over the entire container ecosystem and acts as the brain for distributed container deployment, aiming to manage service-oriented applications using containers distributed across clusters of hosts. Kubernetes provides mechanisms for application deployment, scheduling, updates, service discovery, and scaling. However, how to ensure the health of Kubernetes nodes? Through smart inspections, information retrieval and problem discovery based on the current node's resource status, application performance management, service failure logs, etc. can be used to speed up event investigation, reduce engineers' pressure, decrease average repair time, and improve the end-user experience.
