Creating a Query with Metrics Explorer

On Compute Cloud@Customer, you can create your own metric queries using Metrics Explorer.

Use the information in this section to create a metric query that's specifically for Compute Cloud@Customer infrastructure resources using the metric oci_ccc namesapce. For general information about metric queries, see Building Metric Queries.

1. Open the Oracle Cloud Console navigation menu, and click Observability & Management. Under Monitoring, click Metrics Explorer.

   The Metrics Explorer page displays an empty chart with fields to build a query.

2. From the Console header, select the region that contains the metric data that you want.

   For more information about regions, see Understand Regions.

3. (Optional) The default query period is set to Last hour. To change it, go to the top panel, and set the query period by selecting a Start time and End time, or select a period from the Quick selects menu.
4. In the Query area under the chart, select values for the following items:
   • Compartment: Select the compartment where the Compute Cloud@Customer infrastructure was created.
   • Metric namespace: Select oci_ccc (the Compute Cloud@Customer namespace).
   • Metric name: From the drop-down menu, select one of the Compute Cloud@Customer metrics. For descriptions of each metric, see Compute Cloud@Customer Metrics Reference.
   • Interval: Change the default interval to a value greater than collection frequency. For queries using the oci_ccc namespace, choose an interval of 15 minutes or longer.
   • Statistic: Select a statistic. For queries using the oci_ccc namespace, Max works well.

5. (Optional) In the Metric dimensions area, to further refine the query, select values for the following items:

   • Dimension name: From the drop-down menu, select a dimension value. For example, to see metrics for a particular fault domain, select faultDomain.
   • Dimension value: From the drop-down menu, select a dimension value. For example, you might select a specific fault domain for this query.

6. Click Update Chart.

   The chart shows data points for the custom metric in a graph view.

   To change the metric chart, update the query values, then click Update Chart again.

   The query is a one-time query. If you want a persistent query, you can take advantage of the following services:

   • Configure a query in a Console Dashboard. The Console Dashboard service enables you to create custom dashboards to monitor resources, diagnostics, and key metrics for your tenancy. See Console Dashboards.
   • View the default metric charts. See Viewing Compute Cloud@Customer Default Metric Charts.
