When your cloud resources work as expected, everything runs smoothly and it's business as usual. But when something breaks, it can impact performance, or worse, it can take down your server or company website and prevent you and your customers from accessing critical data. If this happens, you want to know right away and take the appropriate actions to keep your business operational and your customers happy. Rackspace Cloud Monitoring provides timely and accurate information about how your resources are performing. It supplies you with key information that can help you manage your business:
Current system health
Alerts on failure conditions
Collection of historical data
Trending and capacity planning
To keep track of your cloud resources and receive instant notification when a resource needs your attention, use the Cloud Monitoring API. This RESTful API enables you to quickly create multiple monitors with predefined checks, such as PING, HTTPS, SMTP, and many others.
This guide explains how to access and use the API so you can begin to monitor your resources immediately.
