CloudMonitor monitors Alibaba Cloud resources and internet applications with real-time metrics, alerts, and dashboards.
CloudMonitor is an enterprise-grade monitoring solution covering infrastructure, public network quality, and business monitoring based on events, custom metrics, and logs. It helps improve service availability and reduce operations and maintenance (O&M) costs.
Application groups and alert templates work across services and regions, enabling you to manage tens of thousands of instances across dozens of Alibaba Cloud services.
CloudMonitor tracks resource metrics, probes ECS instance and carrier site availability, and triggers alerts on specific thresholds — giving you full visibility into resource usage and business status.
