Monitoring

Infrastructure and application metrics

Out-of-the-box infrastructure metrics

Quickly access readily-available performance metrics for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure resources, such as compute instances, block storage volumes, virtual network interfaces (NICs), and load balancers.

Custom metrics for applications

Using the Monitoring API, DevOps engineers can publish custom metrics to the Metrics Explorer, monitoring applications and infrastructure with a single service.

Metrics aggregation

Use statistics like mean, percentiles, minimum, and maximum to aggregate metrics flexibly and quickly over small or large intervals.

Support for writing complex queries

DevOps engineers can use the Monitoring Query Language (MQL) for complex statistical functions across a collection of resources, such as a cluster of compute shapes.

Alarms and notifications

Anomaly detection

Address anomalies before they impact business operations. Alarms inform IT staff of important events in real-time across Oracle Cloud.

Instant notifications

Alarms can trigger Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Notifications, which sends messages via platforms such as PagerDuty, Email, and Slack.

Absence alerts

Quickly restore applications and optimize their performance. Alarms alert cloud operators when a resource is down or at risk of becoming inoperable.

Pricing

Consumption-based pricing

Pay only for the metrics you import and analyze.

Free Tier and consistent rates across regions

Every month, customers can ingest the first 500-million datapoints and analyze the first billion datapoints for free. For usage beyond the Free Tier limits, prices are consistent across all of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure commercial and government regions.

More economical

Monitoring does not charge for alarms and stored data, making it significantly cheaper.
