Function overview

An application refers to a server module providing application services, composed of multiple instances with identical functions and implementations. Multiple applications combine to form a complete application system. You can freely organize and manage applications in BCM application monitor based on your system architecture. To address potential exceptions during application operation, BCM offers various monitoring methods such as process, port, log, and script monitor, comprehensively establishing a multi-dimensional application monitor system. This ensures that you can more efficiently grasp the operational status of your applications.
Note: Currently, application monitor only supports Linux systems and does not support Windows systems

Monitor type

Application monitor currently supports the following monitor types:

• Process monitor: Track runtime status of processes across instances, providing real-time CPU, memory, disk, and other resource usage metrics;
• Port monitor: By probing port liveness, it provides real-time port connection status, response time, and other monitor metrics;
• Log Monitoring: Offers multi-dimensional metric monitoring for instances and application types by collecting and analyzing local logs, setting up monitoring and alert configurations, and forming a comprehensive log monitoring system when integrated with other Baidu Cloud Monitor functions.
• Script monitor: Allow users to implement custom metric collection through script configuration, supporting alarm configuration for script metric monitoring and alarming capabilities
