Observer

Available in Classic and VPC

Observer is a feature that monitors status and property information of resources in NAVER Cloud Platform. You can define monitoring conditions for resources to inspect the detection status whenever resources are created and changed, and notify the administrator when detected.
In Observer, you can create and manage observers and check the list of detected resources. Also, using the Cloud Activity Tracer logs, you can view the resource task history and task details.
