The Application Management feature provided by CloudLens for Elastic Block Storage (EBS) can generate reports on the monitoring data of disks and periodically send the reports to you by email or internal message. This way, you can comprehensively analyze the monitoring data of disks, including the disk quantity, disk capacity, disk distribution by region, and disk distribution by category, properly plan resource allocation, and optimize costs. The Application Management feature is suitable for the analysis and governance of large-scale disk monitoring data.
