Tencent Cloud CVM Monitoring Integration

Utilize Site24x7 Tencent Cloud CVM Monitoring Integration to:

Detect instance outages and performance degradation before they impact users.
Track CPU load, network bandwidth, and packet rates across private and public interfaces.
Monitor UTC/NTP time drift to prevent clock-skew issues in distributed workloads.
Use historical trends to right-size CVM instances and plan capacity growth.

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

Setup and configuration

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

If you haven't selected CVM 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 CVM from the Services/Resources drop-down and click Save.
After successful configuration, go to Cloud > Tencent Cloud > CVM. Now you can view the discovered resources.

Data collection frequency

Performance metrics of your Tencent Cloud CVM 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
1-Minute CPU Load	Average number of processes in the run queue over the last one minute, indicating CPU pressure	Count
Basic CPU Utilization	Percentage of CPU capacity currently in use by the instance	Percent
Private Outbound Bandwidth	Rate of data sent out over the private network interface	Mbps
Private Inbound Bandwidth	Rate of data received over the private network interface	Mbps
Private Outbound Packets	Number of packets sent out per second over the private network	Packets/second
Private Inbound Packets	Number of packets received per second over the private network	Packets/second
Public Outbound Bandwidth	Rate of data transmitted over the public network interface	Mbps
Public Inbound Bandwidth	Rate of data received over the public network interface	Mbps
Public Outbound Packets	Number of packets sent out per second over the public network	Packets/second
Public Inbound Packets	Number of packets received per second over the public network	Packets/second
Public Outbound Traffic	Cumulative volume of data sent out over the public network	MB
UTC/NTP Time Difference	Difference between the instance clock and NTP time; used to detect clock skew	Seconds

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 CVM. Now you can set the threshold values for all the metrics mentioned above.

Monitor-level configuration

Go to Cloud > Tencent Cloud > CVM.
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 CVM 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.
