Cisco Cloud Observability provides data metrics sourced from Cisco Cloud Observability (Infrastructure Collector) to provide insight into your host entities and view host data with greater granularity.

You must install Host Monitoring to monitor this entity.

Cisco Cloud Observability displays Azure entities on the Observe page. Metrics are displayed for specific entity instances in the list and detail views.

Detail View 

To display the detail view for Cisco AppDynamics Hosts for Azure:

  1. Navigate to the Observe page.
  2. Under Compute, click a Hosts group. The Hosts list view now displays.
  3. Click the Azure tab to display only Azure hosts.
  4. Click a host Name to display the detail view. Under Data Sources, select AppDynamics. The detail view now displays the metrics and properties (attributes) for the host, sourced from Cisco AppDynamics.

Metrics and Key Performance Indicators

Cisco Cloud Observability displays the following metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) for hosts.

Display Name*DescriptionSupported OS
CPU

CPU Utilization (%)

The percentage of time the CPU was busy processing system or user requests.Linux, Windows

CPU (%)


CPU Stolen: The percentage of time a virtual CPU waits for a real CPU while the hypervisor is servicing another virtual processor.

Linux

CPU IO Wait: The percentage of CPU time that was spent waiting for an I/O request.

Linux

CPU System: The percentage of time the CPU was busy processing kernel code.

Linux, Windows

Load 5 Minutes: The CPU load presented as an average over the last 5 minutes.Linux, Windows
Load 15 Minutes: The CPU load presented as an average over the last 15 minutes.Linux, Windows
Memory

Memory (MiB)


Memory Available: The amount of memory available for starting new applications without swapping. K indicates 1,000 MiB. 

Linux, Windows
Memory Total: The total amount of memory. K indicates 1,000 MiB.Linux, Windows
Memory Used: The amount of memory used. K indicates 1,000 MiB. Linux, Windows

Swap Memory Total and Used (MiB)


Swap Memory Limit: The total amount of allocated swap space. K indicates 1,000 MiB. 

Linux, Windows
Swap Memory Used: The amount of used swap space. K indicates 1,000 MiB. Linux, Windows

Memory Pages (Count/Sec)


Pages Paged In/Sec: The paging-in rate to memory.

Linux
Pages Paged Out/Sec: The paging-out rate from memory.Linux
Pages Swapped In/Sec: The swapping-in rate of pages to disks.Linux
Pages Swapped Out/Sec: The swapping-out rate of pages to disks.Linux
Page Faults/Sec: The number of page faults per second for the system.Linux

Network

The Infrastructure Collector does not monitor or report metrics for networks interfaces prefixed with lo, docker, br, veth, or vnet.

Network Throughput (KiB/Sec)


Network IO Incoming: The amount of data per second sent by all monitored network devices.

Linux, Windows
Network IO Outgoing: The amount of data per second received by all monitored network devices.Linux, Windows

Network Packets (Count/Sec)

Network Incoming: The number of data packets sent per second by all monitored network devices.

Linux, Windows
Network Outgoing: The number of data packets received per second by all monitored network devices.Linux, Windows

Network Errors (Count/Min)

Network Incoming: The number of incoming packet errors the network incurs every minute.

Linux, Windows
Network Outgoing: The number of outgoing packet errors the network incurs every minute.Linux, Windows

Network Packets Dropped (Count/Sec)

Network Incoming: The number of incoming data packets per second dropped by all monitored network devices.

Linux, Windows
Network Outgoing: The number of outgoing data packets per second dropped by all monitored network devices.Linux, Windows
File System

FileSystem Total and Used (MiB)


FileSystem Total: The amount of storage space available (used and free) across all mount points. On Linux, the space reserved for root is not counted in the available space. K indicates 1,000 MiB. 

Linux, Windows
FileSystem Used: The amount of storage space in use across all mount points. K indicates 1,000 MiB. Linux, Windows
Disk

Disk Throughput (KiB/Sec)


Disk Read: The number of KiB per second read from all disks and partitions.

Linux, Windows
Disk Written: The number of KiB per second written from all disks and partitions.Linux, Windows

Disk IOPS (Ops/Sec)


Disk Reads: The number of read operations per second performed on all disks and partitions.

Linux, Windows
Disk Writes: The number of write operations per second performed on all disks and partitions.Linux, Windows

Average IO Utilization (%)

The average time spent processing read and write requests on all disks and partitions as a percentage of the total reported time period. Databases often report high disk I/O utilization due to frequent read/write requests.

For example, if the agent detects read and write processing in 55 out of 60 seconds, the Average IO Utilization for that minute is 92%. This metric does not measure the amount of available disk space or read/write request sizes.
Linux, Windows

Average Queue Time by Volume (ms)

The time in milliseconds that a read or write request is in the queue before it gets processed across one partition.Linux

Kubernetes Node Pressure

Kubernetes metrics are only available for Kubernetes setups. Kubernetes metrics are not supported for Host Monitoring setups.

Disk Pressure (0/1)

A value of 1 indicates if kubelet is under pressure due to insufficient disk.

Linux, Windows

Memory Pressure (0/1)

A value of 1 indicates if kubelet is under pressure due to insufficient memory.

Linux, Windows

Pid Pressure (0/1)

A value of 1 indicates if kubelet is under pressure due to insufficient number of PIDs.

Linux, Windows

*Metric Name is not available for Cisco AppDynamics Hosts because this entity uses internal Cisco AppDynamics metrics that are not publicly exposed to users. 

Properties

Clicking a Host ID displays the detail view with the Properties panel on the right. 

Retention and Purge Time-To-Live (TTL)

For all cloud and infrastructure entities, the retention TTL is 180 minutes (3 hours) and the purge TTL is 525,600 minutes (365 days).
