Selecting and configuring metrics for monitoring

摘要

Technologies are disclosed herein for selecting and configuring metrics to monitor. The metrics available for monitoring are associated with computing resources provided by a service provider network. Instead of requiring a customer to manually determine the metrics that may be monitored, the service provider network may dynamically determine the metrics available for monitoring based on the infrastructure specified by the customer to execute in the service provider network. In this way, customers may not only select metrics related to the health of the computing devices (physical or virtual), the customer may also select metrics related to the software applications executing on the computing devices.
