Frequently asked questions
What is cloud monitoring?
Cloud monitoring collects and analyzes the health, performance, events, logs, tags, and cost data of cloud resources. A multi-cloud view helps teams compare environments while retaining provider, account, region, and resource context.
Which cloud platforms can Guance monitor?
Guance documents integrations for AWS, Azure, Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, Huawei Cloud, Volcengine, and other services. Available resource types and telemetry depend on the provider integration and permissions configured.
Why use one platform for multi-cloud monitoring?
A shared platform reduces console switching and gives teams consistent tags, dashboards, queries, and alert workflows across providers. It also makes it easier to relate cloud resources to the applications and owners that depend on them.
Can cloud monitoring help control cloud cost?
Cloud resource tags, utilization, and billing data can be analyzed together to identify unusual growth, idle or underused resources, and capacity-planning risks. Cost conclusions still depend on complete account, tag, and billing coverage.
