Monitor an instance

TWSC portal allows you to view the monitoring information of Virtual Compute Service (VCS) instances, including CPU Utilization, Memory Utilization, Disk Read/Write rate and Network output rate.

info
  • For the permission differences between a Tenant Admin and a Tenant User when using VCS instances, please refer to User roles and permissions.
  • TWCC CLI currently does not support this feature.

Monitoring metrics​

  • Go to the VCS Instance Management page, and select an instance.

  • Select the Monitoring tab on the VCS Instance Details page to view the instance monitoring metrics:
    • CPU Utilization(%): CPU usage over the time period For example, 2 (200%) means 2 CPUs are used up.
    • Memory Utilization(MB): memory usage, in Megabytes (MB).
    • Disk Reads(B/s): The read/write rate of each disk in Bytes/second (B/s).
    • Network Out(B): The external network traffic of the VCS instance, a combination of east-west traffic (horizontal transmission between VCS instances) and north-south traffic (traffic between the client and the VCS instance). The unit is Bytes (B).

info

Network traffic on TWSC portal includes the sum of east-west traffic and north-south traffic, while the quota and resource usage records in the Member Center only show north-south traffic.
