Frequently asked questions
What is cloud monitoring?
Cloud monitoring is used to unify the operational status, performance metrics, events, logs, and cost data of Guance vendor resources, helping teams manage resource health, capacity changes, and failure risks in multi-cloud or hybrid cloud environments.
Which cloud platforms Guance support monitoring?
Guance can connect to mainstream cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, Huawei Cloud, and Volcano Engine, and unify cloud resource metrics, events, logs, and application data for analysis on a single observable platform.
Why does multi-cloud monitoring require a unified platform?
In multi-cloud environments, resources are scattered across different consoles, and metrics, labels, and alert methods are inconsistent. A unified platform reduces tool switching and helps teams manage cloud resources and business systems with consistent tags, views, and alert rules.
Can cloud platform monitoring help control cloud costs?
Guance can combine cloud resource status, custom tags, and cloud billing data to analyze changes in resource usage and costs, helping teams identify abnormal growth, idle resources, and capacity planning risks.
