Monitoring Integration

Monitoring Integration

Monitoring for Cloud Databases is provided through integration with the IBM Cloud® Monitoring service. Your instances forward select information so that you can monitor instance health and resource usage. To see your dashboards in IBM Cloud Monitoring, enable Platform Metrics in the same region as your instance. If you have instances in more than one region, provision IBM Cloud Monitoring and enable platform metrics in each region.

To access IBM Cloud Monitoring from your instance, use the Monitoring link from the right menu. If you do not already have a monitoring service in the same region as your deployment, it says Add monitoring.

To access your instance's monitoring dashboard from IBM Cloud Monitoring, it's in the sidebar, under IBM.

Monitoring Availability

IBM Cloud Monitoring is available for instances in every region. Instances in Multi-zone Regions (MZRs) - eu-gb, eu-de, us-east, us-south, jp-tok, au-syd - have their metrics in the corresponding region.

If you have instances that are in Single-zone Region (SZR) che01 then your logs are forwarded to an IBM Cloud Monitoring instance in another region. You need to provision monitoring instances in the region where your metrics are forwarded to. Metrics for instances in che01 go to jp-tok.
