What does the OCI Monitoring service primarily track?

The OCI Monitoring service is designed to track performance metrics and health statuses of resources within the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure environment. This service provides valuable insights that help users understand the operational state of their resources, such as compute instances, block volumes, and databases. By monitoring key performance indicators like CPU utilization, memory usage, and disk I/O, users can effectively manage their resources, identify potential issues before they escalate, and optimize their cloud infrastructure for better performance and cost-efficiency.

The focus on performance metrics and health statuses allows organizations to ensure their applications and services run smoothly while being able to react proactively to any anomalies or degradation in service delivery. This capability underlines the importance of monitoring in maintaining the overall health and efficiency of cloud operations.
