Monitoring

Monitoring Configuration

The Monitoring feature in the admin portal allows administrators to set up, manage, and customize monitoring settings for virtual machines (VMs) and other resources in the Cloud Management Platform (CMP) portal. By configuring monitoring settings, administrators can enable tracking of resource usage, performance, availability, and other vital metrics across the cloud infrastructure, helping ensure that system health and performance standards are maintained.

Monitoring is essential for cloud infrastructure management, as it provides insights into resource utilization, performance issues, and potential bottlenecks. This feature enables administrators to configure monitoring tools and options, allowing them to proactively manage resources, optimize performance, and ensure that user requirements are met.

Enable Stackwatch Monitoring

The Enable Stackwatch Monitoring feature in the admin portal allows administrators to activate advanced monitoring capabilities for virtual machines (VMs) and other cloud resources in the User CMP (Cloud Management Platform) portal. Stackwatch provides a comprehensive monitoring service that tracks resource utilization, performance metrics, and overall system health, offering deeper insights into CPU, memory, storage, and network usage.

When enabled, users can configure and access advanced monitoring for their instances, helping them keep track of resource consumption, identify performance bottlenecks, and optimize usage to prevent issues. This feature enhances visibility into system operations and allows both users and administrators to make informed decisions based on real-time data.
