Function Compute:Monitoring metrics

Last Updated:Aug 20, 2024

In the Function Compute console, you can query the overview metrics of Function Compute resources and details of monitoring metrics at the region, function, and instance dimensions. You can specify metric names to monitor the corresponding metrics. This topic describes the monitoring metrics of Function Compute.

Resource overview metrics

You can log on to the Function Compute console to view resource overview metrics in the Resource Usage Statistics section on the Overview page.

Resource overview metrics are used to monitor and measure the overall resource usage and network traffic of Function Compute in all regions or in a specific region. The following table describes the metrics. All metrics are summed at a one-day or one-month granularity.

Function-level metrics are used to monitor and measure the usage of specific function resources from the perspective of functions and aliases. The function perspective and the alias perspective both pertain to the function dimension. The following table describes function-level metrics.

Note
  • The prefix of metric names from the perspective of functions versions and function aliases is FunctionQualifier, for example, FunctionQualifierTotalInvocations, which indicates the total number of function invocations.

  • Function Compute can monitor and measure the CPU utilization, memory usage, and network traffic of a function only after instance-level metrics are enabled. For more information about instance-level metrics, see Instance-level metrics.
