Data exploration
Metric exploration
Query all metrics from connected and observable ECS instances. Metrics fall into two categories: agentless metrics from Cloud Monitor, prefixed with `AliyunEcs_***`, and agent-based metrics from Exporter, which cover node, process, and GPU metrics and follow open-source naming conventions.
Log exploration
Query the system logs of connected and observable ECS instances. The query syntax is the same as Simple Log Service (SLS). For more information, see Simple Log Service query syntax.
Event exploration
After system events are ingested, you can query all system events for an ECS instance. The following example shows how to query the system events for a specific host ID.
