Observability and Management services

(bright music) - Welcome back. In this lesson, we'll talk about OCI, observability and Management, focusing on the three foundational services, monitoring, logging, and events. Let's get started. To better understand these services, let's look at an example that involves the active monitoring of compute instance virtual machines. So let's imagine that these three VMs are running one or more applications, and these servers would, of course, be consuming compute resources such as CPUs and memory. This resource utilization data is referred to as metrics. Next, we define some conditions such as aggregating this data or measuring the latest CPU utilization for each VM. We can then create an alarm, and in this case, we define the criteria for the alarm to be triggered if the CPU utilization goes above 80% on any of these compute VMs. Finally, in this scenario, we configure a notification that sends an email to someone on the operations team when this condition occurs. This is a simple…
