Services
Services in Virtana Service Observability brings service impact monitoring to your cloud environment. It lets you group related infrastructure entities into services, monitor their health, and identify the root cause of issues when problems occur.
Services has three main areas:
Dynamic Services: Groups of related entities that you define for monitoring. For each dynamic service, you can review availability and performance health, examine impact events, and view the dependency graph to perform root cause analysis.
Logical Nodes: Custom nodes that you create and add to dynamic services. Use logical nodes to represent infrastructure components that aren't modeled as standard CZ entities, or to capture events from third-party monitoring systems that forward events to CZ.
Metatype Configuration: Settings that control which components are excluded from service impact monitoring. Reducing the number of monitored components improves model performance and makes root cause analysis more efficient.
Services data is sourced from your Collection Zone (CZ) deployment. Dynamic services can include three types of members:
CZ entities: Devices or components monitored in CZ. Events generated in CZ drive the availability and performance states that Services displays.
Logical nodes: Custom nodes you create in Services to represent infrastructure components that aren't modeled as standard CZ entities.
Other dynamic services: Dynamic services can be nested as members of other dynamic services, allowing you to model complex service hierarchies.
