Monitoring Real-Time Usage Across Services

You can select metrics across different service types (Compute, JaaS) for display within the same graph. Select a metric and specify up to 5 service instances across different service types if required, to be displayed within the same graph.

You can also choose to mix and match different metric units to display on the same graph. For example, you can chart metrics from VMs (in CPU percentages), network data (in bytes per second), or any custom metric on the same graph.

1. Sign in to Infrastructure Classic Console.
2. Click the quick navigation menu on the top-left of the page header.
3. Click Monitoring. Note that this option isn’t available for traditional cloud accounts with nonmetered services.
   The Monitoring Metrics page is displayed. This page displays usage data in the form of graphs. By default, 1 graph with up to 3 metrics (instances) within a graph are displayed. Within this graph, the first metric from each available instance ( maximum 3) is plotted on the graph, by default.

   In this page, you can monitor and customize the following:

   • Viewport/Timeline graph: The graph displayed at the top is called the viewport graph and shows usage data of the selected metric for the period specified in the timeline graph. Granular usage data is shown when you set the time range to an hour.

     The timeline graph is displayed below the viewport graph and allows you to select a time frame by using a viewport slider. Drag the slider to select a time period. You can also drag the edges of the slider to increase or decrease the selected time period. Usage data of the metric is displayed in the viewport graph according to your selection in the timeline graph. Usage data is auto-refreshed every minute, when the slider is positioned at the extreme right in the timeline graph. To hide the timeline graph, click Hide Overview.

   • Show Date Range: Click this button to specify a date and time range.

   • Add Graph: You can select additional graphs to be displayed in this section by clicking the Add Graph button. This is useful when you want to plot and compare data for the same metric across different service instances. By default, 3 metric graphs are displayed. You can select up to a maximum of 4 metric graphs. To remove a metric from the display, click the X icon.

   • Add Metric: You can select additional metrics to be displayed within each graph by clicking the Add Metric button below the graphs. By default, up to 3 metrics from 3 instances are displayed. You can select a maximum of 5 metrics to plot on the graph. To remove a metric, click the X icon. Customization of the graph and instance display is saved and the same will be displayed when you view the Monitoring Metrics page the next time. However, any customizations to the viewport graph are not saved. Deleted instances are also displayed in the list and denoted by an asterisk. You can select a deleted instance to view its historical usage data, however, you can’t select the same within the service tile on the Infrastructure Classic Console.
