Automatic discovery of Applications and Components

After you configure the Cloud Foundry domain, the KM automatically discovers the configured application topology and components. With this KM, you can manage the configured infrastructure effectively and efficiently.

Monitoring of Application, Event, and Component health

Cloud Foundry Applications

In application monitoring, the KM enables you to:

Monitor the availability of the applications
Monitor the CPU, Memory, Disk utilization of the applications
Configure filters to include or exclude applications based on organization, space, and application name

For information about how to configure the applications, see Configuring the Cloud Foundry KM.

For a list metrics, see Cloud Foundry Application Instance monitor type.

Cloud Foundry Events

In event monitoring, the KM enables you:

Configure filters based on event type, actee name, organization name, and space name
Configure the type of event (alarm, warning, information) for each filter
Monitor the number of events that meet the event filtering criteria

For information about how to configure the events, see Configuring the Cloud Foundry KM.

For a list of metrics, see Cloud Foundry Events Filter monitor type.

Cloud Foundry Components

In component monitoring, the KM enables you to monitor the following Infrastructure components:

Option to enable or disable monitoring

You can choose to monitor the application, event, and one or more Infrastructure components depending upon your requirements. The KM provides a simple interface with an option to enable or disable monitoring of these entities while configuring the KM.

Detailed annotation messages

The KM provides detailed annotation messages along with possible corrective actions in case of any failure. These annotations help you resolve the issue and configure the policy successfully.

Monitor type	Attribute
Cloud Foundry (PCF)	Configuration Status
Cloud Foundry Domain (PCF_DOMAIN)	Connection Status
Cloud Foundry Applications (PCF_APP_CNTR)	Monitoring Status
Cloud Foundry Components (PCF_COMPONENT)	Monitoring Status
Cloud Foundry Events (PCF_EVENT_CNTR)	Monitoring Status

Simple configuration

The web-based configuration interface lets you manage the monitoring and filtering configuration easily. You can configure the Cloud Foundry domain, applications, events, components, and their filters by using a single configuration screen.
