Introduction
Cloud Monitoring analyses the operational workflow of your cloud based IT system to optimise service availability and performance of applications, databases, cloud storages and virtual machines. Analyzing the health of your Cloud Infrastructure provides data and workflow to predict vulnerability before they occur, thereby improving your Cloud Performance.
A Cloud Monitoring Tool optimises the cloud infrastructure performance by cloud monitoring management methods with 24/7, real time KPI data, reports and notification.
Types of Cloud Monitoring
The cloud contains a lot of moving pieces, and it’s critical that everything functions together properly for maximum optimisation. This requirement has resulted in a broad variety of monitoring techniques that are suited to the intended goal.
The most popular types of cloud monitoring are as follows:
Database Monitoring
Because most cloud applications rely on databases, this technique evaluates the processes, queries, availability, and utilization of cloud database resources. This approach can also monitor connections and offer real-time usage information, as well as track requests and data integrity. For security reasons, access requests can also be monitored. For example, an uptime detector can alert you if your database is unreliable and help you improve your resolution response time from the moment your database goes down.
Cloud Storage Monitoring
This method monitors storage resources and activities that are provisioned to virtual machines, services, databases, and applications at the same time. This method is frequently used to host infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions. You may configure monitoring for these apps to track performance indicators, processes, users, databases, and available storage. It gives statistics to assist you in focusing on valuable features or fixing faults that interrupt functionality.
Virtual Machines Monitoring
Virtualization infrastructure and virtual machines are used to simulate a computer within a computer using this approach. In IaaS, it’s typically scaled out as a virtual server hosting several virtual desktops. Users, traffic, and machine status may all be tracked with a monitoring program. Traditional IT infrastructure monitoring is combined with cloud monitoring solutions to provide you with the best of both worlds.
Whether on the Public or Private Cloud, monitoring your cloud based IT system it is crucial that you monitor and optimise your cloud infrastructure, so that everything functions together properly for maximum optimisation and service availability.
