Tencent Cloud CBS Monitoring Integration

Utilize Site24x7 Tencent Cloud CBS Monitoring Integration to:

Track read and write IOPS and throughput to identify storage performance bottlenecks.
Monitor IO utilization and average queue length to detect disk saturation.
Measure IO service time and wait time to diagnose latency in storage operations.
Proactively alert when storage performance degrades before applications are impacted.

This help document contains instructions to set up Tencent Cloud CBS Monitoring Integration and related information.

Setup and configuration

During your Tencent Cloud monitor setup, if you have selected CBS in the Services/Resources drop-down, all your CBS resources will be auto-detected and monitored without the need to manually create a monitor for each resource.

If you haven't selected CBS during Tencent Cloud monitor creation, follow these instructions:

Log in to your Site24x7 account.
Go to Cloud > Tencent Cloud, select your Tencent Cloud monitor, then go to any of the dashboards on the left pane.
Click the hamburger icon and select Edit, which brings you to the Edit Tencent Cloud Monitor page.
On the Edit Tencent Cloud Monitor page, select CBS from the Services/Resources drop-down and click Save.
After successful configuration, go to Cloud > Tencent Cloud > CBS. Now you can view the discovered resources.

Data collection frequency

Performance metrics of your Tencent Cloud CBS resources will be collected every five minutes and updated in the Site24x7 portal every five minutes by default; metrics are also collected based on the selected poll interval.

Supported metrics

Metric name	Description	Unit
IO Average Queue Length	Average number of IO requests waiting in the disk queue	Count
IO Service Time	Average time the disk takes to service a single IO request	Milliseconds
IO Utilization	Percentage of time the disk was busy processing IO requests	Percent
IO Wait Time	Average time IO requests spend waiting before being serviced by the disk	Milliseconds
Read IOPS	Number of read operations completed per second	Ops/second
Read Throughput	Volume of data read from the volume per second	MB/second
Write IOPS	Number of write operations completed per second	Ops/second
Write Throughput	Volume of data written to the volume per second	MB/second

Threshold configuration

Global configuration

Go to the Admin section in the left navigation pane.
Select Configuration Profiles from the left pane and choose the Threshold and Availability (+) tab from the drop-down menu. Click Add Threshold Profile from the top-right corner.
Set the monitor type as Tencent Cloud CBS. Now you can set the threshold values for all the metrics mentioned above.

Monitor-level configuration

Go to Cloud > Tencent Cloud > CBS.
Choose a resource for which you would like to set a threshold, then click the hamburger icon . Select Edit, which directs you to the Edit Tencent Cloud CBS Monitor page.
You can set the threshold values for the metrics by selecting Threshold and Availability. You can also configure IT Automation at the attribute level.

IT Automation

Site24x7's IT Automation tools help with automatically resolving performance degradation issues. When a breach occurs, the alarm engine continuously examines the system events for which thresholds have been defined and performs the mapped automation.

Configuration Rules

With Site24x7's Configuration Rules, you can set parameters like Threshold Profile, Notification Profile, Tags, and Monitor Group for multiple monitors and automate the configuration settings of your monitoring resources.
