Monitor Metrics for Your VMs

You can view real-time metrics for your Compute VMs.

1. Sign in to Oracle Cloud My Services.
2. Click the  menu at the upper left corner of the page and select Monitoring.
   The Monitoring Metrics page is displayed. By default, it shows one graph. To add a graph, click Add Graph.

   In each graph, you can view data for the metrics and instances that you select and for a period that you define.

3. To adjust the period, use the From and To fields below the graph.
4. In the Instance field, select the VM for which you want to view metrics.

   Tip:

   To view metrics for multiple VMs, create a group containing those VMs (in the Groups tab), and then select that group in the Instance field.
5. In the Metric field below the graph, select the metric that you want to view.

   Note:

   To add another metric to the graph, click Add Metric.
   • CPU (%): Indicates CPU utilization in percentage.
   • IOStat Read (sectors): Indicates the average number of sectors read, in I/O operations per second.
   • IOStat Write (sectors): Indicates the average number of sectors written, in I/O operations per second.
   • Memory % (agent) %: Indicates memory utilization in percentage, as reported by the OPC agent. The memory utilization metrics reported by this agent are more accurate than the memory utilization reported by the Memory Percent metric.
   • Memory (agent) (KB): Indicates memory utilization in kilobytes, as reported by the OPC agent. The memory utilization metrics reported by this agent are more accurate than the memory utilization reported by the Memory Usage metric.
   • Memory Percent (%): Indicates memory utilization, in percentage.
   • Memory Usage (KB): Indicates memory utilization, in kilobytes.
   • Network Rcvd (B/s): Indicates the average network traffic received by the VM, in bytes per second.
   • Network Sent (B/s): Indicates the average network traffic sent by the VM, in bytes per second.
