Monitoring Public Clouds

To view thw public clouds that are configured for monitoring in your environment, click on the icon available in the Monitor tab. Then, select the Public Clouds option in the Hosts/Applications tile. The complete list of monitored cloud servers will appear. For instance, if one/more AWS-EC2 Regions are being monitored in your environment, then the Cloud Servers page will indicate the names and the current state of the AWS-EC2 Regions.

If a cloud server appears to be in an abnormal state, then you can zoom into the root-cause of that abnormality by clicking on the cloud server. This will lead you to the Topology of the Virtual Infrastructure page.

The eG Enterprise system is capable of automatically discovering the IP address and operating system of the instances launched on a cloud and tracking the powered-on state of these instances. Additionally, the solution also intelligently determines which managed applications are operating on these instances and automatically maps these virtual applications with the cloud server. The topology of the cloud infrastructure reveals this server-application mapping and also indicates the current state of the cloud server and the applications operating on each of its instances. A resource deficiency at the cloud server level can affect the resource allocation to the instances, and can in turn cause the performance of the applications executing on the instances to suffer. This implies that a problem with the cloud server can ripple and affect the performance of the applications launched on it. The direction of the arrows in the topology depicts this inter-dependency. The state of the cloud service is therefore determined by the state of the cloud server and that of the applications executing on the server. Clicking on the cloud server will lead you to the layer model of the AWS EC2 Region, where you can view the layer moodel, tests, and measurements of the cloud server.
