The Object Storage Service (OSS) monitoring service provides user- and bucket-level metrics for different scenarios. OSS analyzes existing metrics and collects statistics generated during a period of time, such as request status distribution by user and monthly statistics. Then, OSS generates a statistical analysis that can facilitate metric data analysis and the application of billing policies.
Note
- Metrics such as sums, maximum values, and average values are reported at one-minute intervals. Billable usage metrics are reported at one-hour intervals.
- CloudMonitor provides a default dashboard that displays monitoring data for Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances. If you want to view OSS user- and bucket-level metrics, click Add View in the CloudMonitor console to add the metrics to the dashboard. For more information, see Manage the monitoring charts of a custom dashboard.
User-level metrics
User-level metrics describe the overall usage and information about all OSS buckets owned by an Alibaba Cloud account. User-level metrics include monthly statistics, monitoring service overview, and request status details.
Monthly statistics
The metrics for monthly statistics display the storage usage of OSS resources that you have used between 00:00:00 on the first day of the current month and the current time you view the collection. The following table describes the metrics.
Metric name Unit Description Storage size Byte The total storage size used by all the buckets owned by the Alibaba Cloud account between 00:00:00 on the first day of the current month and the current time when you view the collection. Internet outbound traffic Byte The total amount of Internet outbound traffic sent by the user between 00:00:00 on the first day of the current month and the current time when you view the collection. Number of PUT requests Count The total number of PUT requests sent by the user between 00:00:00 on the first day of the current month and the current time you view the collection. Number of GET requests Count The total number of GET requests sent by the user between 00:00:00 on the first day of the current month and the current time when you view the collection. Monitoring service overview
Monitoring service overview shows basic service metrics. The following table describes the metrics.

Bucket-level metrics
Bucket-level metrics include all the preceding user-level metrics and measurement and performance metrics, such as measurement reference, average latency, and successful request category.
Important Bucket-level metrics indicate the performance of each bucket, which is different from user-level metrics. For example, the storage size metric of the user-level indicates the storage size used by all buckets owned by the Alibaba Cloud account between 00:00:00 on the first day of the current month and the current time you view the collection. The storage size metric of the bucket-level indicates the storage size used by a bucket during a specific period of time.
Measurement reference
The following table describes the metrics.
Metric name Unit Description Storage Size Byte The amount of storage occupied by the bucket each hour. Internet Outbound Traffic Byte The total amount of outbound traffic sent from the bucket over the Internet each hour. Number of PUT Requests Count The total number of PUT requests made to the bucket each hour. Number of GET Requests Count The total number of GET requests made to the bucket each hour. Latency
Request latency indicates the system performance. The metric collects only the statistics of successful requests with the returned status code 2xx. The OSS monitoring service provides minute-level average latency and maximum latency metrics to indicate the system average response capability and thrashing.
In addition, the latency metrics are displayed based on the end-to-end (E2E) latency and server latency, which help you analyze key performance and environmental issues.
- E2E latency refers to the end-to-end latency of successful requests made to OSS. E2E latency includes the time required for OSS to read a request, send the response, and receive acknowledgment of the response.
- Server latency refers to the time required for OSS to process a successful request. Server latency does not include the network latency specified in E2E latency.
The following table describes the metrics.
