OCI Monitoring & Observability

Monitoring Service (Metrics & Alarms)

OCI Monitoring uses Metrics Query Language (MQL) to query time-series metrics emitted by OCI services and custom sources.

Querying Metrics (MQL Basics)

# Query a metric via CLI
oci monitoring metric-data summarize-metrics-data \
  --compartment-id $C \
  --query-text 'CpuUtilization[5m].mean()' \
  --namespace "oci_computeagent" \
  --start-time "$(date -u -d '1 hour ago' '+%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ')" \
  --end-time "$(date -u '+%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ')"
