Monitoring with Cloud Insight

Available in VPC

You can monitor the performance and operational indicators of the clusters created by the Search Engine Service in integration with NAVER Cloud Platform's Cloud Insight. You can set up notifications based on monitoring conditions to quickly respond to cluster failures.

Create dashboards and widgets

You can use Cloud Insight's dashboard to view indicators for clusters created by the Search Engine Service at a glance. You can configure dashboards at your convenience by adding various widgets.

The following is how to create dashboards and widgets for monitoring a cluster of the Search Engine Service in Cloud Insight:

1. From the NAVER Cloud Platform console, click the Services > Management & Governance > Cloud Insight (Monitoring) menus, in that order.
2. Click the Dashboard menu.
3. Click the [Create dashboard] button.
4. When the creation pop-up window appears, enter a dashboard name and click the [Create] button.
5. Click the [Add widget] button.
6. Enter the widget's name, select the widget type, and then click the [Next] button.
7. Click the [Next] button after entering settings information.
   • Product Type: select Search Engine Service (VPC)
   • Target: select monitoring targets
     • Group: select monitoring target group. You can create a group by clicking the [Create monitoring group] button.
     • All resources held: select from resources created by the Search Engine Service
   • Metric: select a monitoring item
     • Template: select a monitoring template. You can create a template by clicking the [Create monitoring template] button.
     • All metrics: select from all monitoring items (refer to Product list for all monitoring items)
   • Setting data list: select the dimension (property), view cycle, and aggregation method of the selected monitoring item
8. After checking the set widget details, click the [Create] button.
   • The widget will be added to the dashboard.

Monitoring conditions and notification settings

You can create an Event Rule in Cloud Insight to set monitoring conditions and notifications for clusters in the Search Engine Service. You can quickly respond to cluster failures by setting up notifications when an Event occurs.

The following describes how to create event rules in Cloud Insight and configure notifications when an event occurs:

1. From the NAVER Cloud Platform console, click the Services > Management & Governance > Cloud Insight (Monitoring) menus, in that order.

   • View group: select monitoring target group. You can create a group by clicking the [Create group] button.
   • View all: select a monitoring target from among the resources created by the Search Engine Service
6. Set the monitoring item and click the [Next] button.

   • View template: select a monitoring template. You can create a template by clicking the [Create template] button.

   • View all: select monitoring items among all monitoring items, and set event conditions

   • You can quickly detect failures in a cluster by configuring Event Rules for the following metrics.

   Metric	Data type	Unit	Description	Setting recommended conditions
   cluster_node_count	FLOAT	num	Number of nodes in operation	< Number of all nodes
   elasticsearch_process_status	FLOAT	num	Elasticsearch process status 1: alive 0: dead	< 1
   disk_free	FLOAT	num	Free storage capacity (GB)	< 10% of the data node storage capacity 10% ( if the storage capacity is 100 GB, < 10)

7. On the [Send notification message] tab, set the Notification target group and notification method when an event occurs, and click the [Next] button.
   • Clicking the [Create notification recipient group] button will launch the Notification Recipient menu page where you can create a notification recipient group (refer to Create recipient group).
