System Monitoring extension

System Monitoring extension

Use the System Monitoring extension to gain insights into your system's performance and usage within an IBM Cloud Logs instance. This extension includes a set of pre-configured dashboards that help you monitor critical metrics, identify anomalies, and optimize your system's performance.

For more information about deploying the extension, see Deploying, managing, and removing IBM Cloud Logs extensions.

After deploying, verify that the extension configuration handles data in a way that matches your IBM Cloud Logs instance configuration. For example, if you have TCO policies sending data to the Analyze and alert pipeline, you will need to change the dashboard configured by this extension to All Logs instead of Priority insights.

Dashboards

You can deploy any of the following predefined dashboards:

  • Logs Overview: Use this dashboard to gain insights into the volume, types, and patterns of logs ingested by your system.
  • Mapping Exceptions: Use this dashboard to track and troubleshoot issues related to data mapping errors in your Priority Insights logs.
