How to resolve Sprinto check for monitoring Oracle Cloud Compute Instance CPU Utilization
About
Sprinto check: Compute instance CPU utilization should be monitored
Oracle Cloud Compute instances form the backbone of your cloud infrastructure, powering various workloads and applications. Monitoring the CPU utilization of your Oracle Cloud Compute instances is essential for optimizing performance, identifying potential bottlenecks, and ensuring efficient resource utilization.
Purpose
The purpose of monitoring Oracle Cloud Compute instance CPU utilization is to manage and optimize compute resources proactively. This practice helps you:
Performance Optimization: Monitor CPU utilization to ensure that your compute instances operate within acceptable performance thresholds, delivering optimal performance for your applications and workloads.
Resource Management: Identify and address issues related to high CPU usage, ensuring efficient utilization of compute resources and preventing performance degradation or resource contention.
Capacity Planning: Gain insights into CPU utilization trends and patterns to support capacity planning initiatives, ensuring that you have the right amount of compute resources to meet current and future workload demands.
By monitoring CPU utilization metrics, you can effectively manage compute resources, optimize performance, and maintain a healthy and responsive infrastructure environment.
How to resolve
Follow the below steps to create a notification for Compute Instance CPU utilization:
Before you begin
Ensure you have the “Admin” access on the Oracle Cloud account for which you wish to perform the following action.
Create a notification for CPU utilization
Log in on Oracle Cloud using your credentials.
From the Oracle Dashboard, select Instances under the Resource Explorer category.
On Instances page, select the compute instance you wish to create the notification.
On Instance details page, select the Notifications tab and click Create notification.
Select the following notification activation condition from the drop-down menu under Template selection.
Enter the following details to define the notification trigger point.
Select the notification topic. You can select a previously created topic or create a new one by defining the user that gets notified.
Review your selections, then click Create notification.
Note: For monitors to validate the check, the entity must meet at least one of the following conditions:
The query includes the string
'CpuUtilization'.The entity is tagged with the freeform tag
'CTX_NOTIFICATIONS_COMPUTE_ID'containing the entity identifier.
Once the alert is created, Sprinto retrieves the change from your integrated Oracle Cloud account, and sets the assigned check status to "Passing."
