• New Inspections

  • Cloud Idle Resource Inspection: Cloud computing, as a全新的IT服务方式, is developing rapidly, providing convenient, fast, and elastic IT infrastructure and application services for enterprises and individuals, bringing extremely high efficiency and economy. However, as cloud resources gradually become the main component of enterprise data centers, the huge waste problem of cloud resources has become more significant. Especially within enterprises, due to demand fluctuations and isolation between departments, some cloud resources cannot be fully utilized, forming a large number of idle resources. This situation can cause企业云服务成本直线上升, resource efficiency下降, and还可能降低安全和性能水平. To better manage and optimize cloud idle resources,提升云计算的使用效益和资源利用率, conducting cloud idle resource inspection is very necessary. Through inspection, unnecessary resources in the current cloud service can be discovered, processed promptly, avoiding cost overhead, data leakage, poor performance and other problems caused by long-term unnecessary resource use.

  • Host Restart Inspection: Host abnormal restart monitoring is an important环节 in modern internet system operations. On the one hand, the stability and reliability of computer systems are crucial for the smooth operation of business and user experience. When hosts experience problems like abnormal restarts, it can lead to system crashes, service interruptions, and data loss risks, thereby affecting business operations and user satisfaction. On the other hand, in cloud computing and virtualization environments, the number and scale of hosts are continuously increasing, system complexity is also不断提高, and the probability of problems occurring is also increasing. This requires system administrators to use relevant system monitoring tools for real-time monitoring and promptly discover and resolve abnormal restart等问题. Therefore, reasonably implementing host abnormal restart monitoring能够帮助企业快速诊断问题,降低业务风险,提升运维效率和用户体验.

Added Frontend Application Span Request Time Distribution Display DisplayOn the trace details page, if the current trace belongs to a Span generated by a frontend application call, you can view the request time distribution in the trace details, including the time consumption proportion of Queueing, First Byte, and Download, helping you intuitively view the process consumption proportion of a frontend Span.¶

Note: The RUM SDK must be version 2.2.10 or above to see this data display. If cross-origin issues exist, header configuration needs to be adjusted. For more details, please refer to the document Web Application Access.

Optimized RUM Session Interaction Logic¶

• Session Explorer removed the all records list;
• Session details page display optimized: Type display optimized, supports switching the absolute time when the session occurred, added service column, details page display optimized, error information optimized;
• Session update logic optimized: Session data update logic changed from append to overwrite based on session_id;
• If a trace contains Spans generated by frontend application calls, the service value of that Span will be populated with the service value from the current RUM data. If the RUM data does not contain service information, it defaults to "browser".

For more details, please refer to the document Session.
