CVM Monitoring Metrics

Last Updated At: 2025-10-21 09:10:00

CVM monitoring metrics need to be collected through the CVM monitoring component. Users can automatically install the monitoring component by selecting Cloud Monitor when purchasing machines, or manually install it based on the Monitoring Component Installation Guide.
Cloud Monitor provides the following monitoring metrics for CVM instances:

Metric/Event ID Metric/Event Name Unit Metric Description
CPUUsage CPU utilization % Real-time CPU utilization during machine operation.
BaseCpuUsage Basic CPU utilization % Basic CPU utilization is collected and reported by the host, and data can be viewed without the need to install the monitoring component. Data can still be collected and reported even when the instance is under high load.
MemUsed Memory usage MB Amount of memory actually used by the user, excluding the memory occupied by buffers and system cache.
MemUsage Memory utilization % Amount of memory actually used by the user, excluding the memory occupied by buffers and system cache.
CvmDiskUsage Disk utilization % Disk utilization monitoring.
DiskIOAwait Disk I/O wait ms Average wait time per I/O operation for disk partitions.
DiskReadtraffic Disk read traffic KB/s Average data read volume from disk to memory per second.
DiskWritetraffic Disk write traffic KB/s Average data write volume from memory to disk per second.
LanIntraffic Inbound private network bandwidth MB/s Average inbound traffic per second on private NIC.
LanOuttraffic Outbound private network bandwidth MB/s Average outbound traffic per second on private NIC.
LanInpkg Number of inbound packets on the private network Counts/second Average inbound packet volume per second for private NIC.
LanOutpkg Number of outbound packets on the private network Counts/second Average outbound packet volume per second for private NIC.
WanIntraffic Inbound public network bandwidth MB/s Average inbound traffic per second on public NIC.
WanOuttraffic Outbound public network bandwidth MB/s Average outbound traffic per second on public NIC.
WanInpkg Number of inbound packets on the public network Counts/second Average inbound packet volume per second for public network NIC.
WanOutpkg Number of outbound packets on the public network Counts/second Average outbound packet volume per second for public network NIC.
TcpCurrEstab Number of TCP connections Count Monitoring of TCP connections.
