What is the function of Custom Monitoring in CloudMonitor?

Custom Monitoring in CloudMonitor allows users to collect specific monitoring data at defined intervals, enabling tailored insights into their cloud resources. This option is particularly beneficial for organizations that need to track specific metrics that may not be captured by default monitoring tools or services.

By implementing periodic data collection, users can set up their monitoring configurations to align with the unique requirements of their applications or infrastructure. This capability supports better resource management, performance analysis, and troubleshooting by providing a clearer understanding of how resources behave over time.

The other choices serve different functions within CloudMonitor but do not encapsulate the essence of Custom Monitoring. For instance, real-time data visualization focuses on providing immediate insights into ongoing performance, while data archival and retrieval relate to storing and accessing historical data. Automated alert generation, while an important feature, is usually a resultant function of established monitoring parameters rather than the core functionality of Custom Monitoring itself.
