Intelligent Inspection Updates¶

• Added Inspections

  • Cloud Idle Resource Inspection: Cloud computing, as a全新IT服务方式, is developing rapidly, providing convenient, fast, and elastic IT infrastructure and application services for enterprises and individuals, bringing极高效率和经济性。However, as cloud resources gradually become the main component of enterprise data centers, the huge waste problem of cloud resources becomes 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 enterprise cloud service costs to soar, resource efficiency to decline, and还可能降低安全和性能水平。To better manage and optimize cloud idle resources, to improve the usage benefits and resource utilization of cloud computing, conducting cloud idle resource inspection is very necessary. Through inspection, unnecessary resources in the current cloud service can be discovered and handled promptly, avoiding cost overhead, data leakage, poor performance and other problems caused by long-term unnecessary resource usage.

  • Host Restart Inspection: Host abnormal restart monitoring is an important环节 in modern internet system operations. On one hand, the stability and reliability of computer systems are crucial for the smooth operation of business and user experience. When hosts experience problems such as 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, 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 and other problems. Therefore, reasonably implementing host abnormal restart monitoring can help enterprises quickly diagnose problems, reduce business risks, improve operational efficiency, and user experience.
