Table: alicloud_ecs_disk_metric_write_iops - Query Alibaba Cloud ECS Disk Metrics using SQL

Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS) is a high-performance, stable, reliable, and scalable IaaS-level service provided by Alibaba Cloud. ECS eliminates the need to invest in IT hardware upfront and allows you to quickly scale computing resources on demand, making ECS more convenient and efficient than physical servers. ECS provides a variety of instance types that suit different business needs and help boost business growth.

Table Usage Guide

The alicloud_ecs_disk_metric_write_iops table provides insights into the write operations performance of disks within Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS). As a system administrator or a DevOps engineer, explore disk-specific details through this table, including the write input/output operations per second (IOPS). Utilize it to uncover information about disk performance, such as potential bottlenecks, and to ensure optimal resource allocation and performance tuning.

Examples

Basic info

Analyze the write operations per second on your Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS) disks to understand their performance over time. This can help in identifying any potential bottlenecks or performance issues.

select
  instance_id,
  timestamp,
  minimum,
  maximum,
  average
from
  alicloud_ecs_disk_metric_write_iops
order by
  instance_id,
  timestamp;

select
  instance_id,
  timestamp,
  minimum,
  maximum,
  average
from
  alicloud_ecs_disk_metric_write_iops
order by
  instance_id,
  timestamp;

Intervals where operation exceed 1000 average write iops

Determine the instances and times when the average write operations per second exceeded 1000. This can be useful for identifying periods of high disk activity and potential performance issues.

select
  instance_id,
  timestamp,
  round(minimum :: numeric, 2) as min_ops,
  round(maximum :: numeric, 2) as max_ops,
  round(average :: numeric, 2) as avg_ops
from
  alicloud_ecs_disk_metric_write_iops
where
  average > 1000
order by
  instance_id,
  timestamp;

Schema for alicloud_ecs_disk_metric_write_iops

Name	Type	Description
_ctx	jsonb	Steampipe context in JSON form, e.g. connection_name.
average	double precision	The average of the metric values that correspond to the data point.
instance_id	text	An unique identifier for the resource.
maximum	double precision	The maximum metric value for the data point.
metric_name	text	The name of the metric.
minimum	double precision	The minimum metric value for the data point.
namespace	text	The metric namespace.
timestamp	timestamp with time zone	The timestamp used for the data point.

Export

This table is available as a standalone Exporter CLI. Steampipe exporters are stand-alone binaries that allow you to extract data using Steampipe plugins without a database.

You can download the tarball for your platform from the Releases page, but it is simplest to install them with the steampipe_export_installer.sh script:

/bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://steampipe.io/install/export.sh)" -- alicloud

You can pass the configuration to the command with the --config argument:

steampipe_export_alicloud --config '<your_config>' alicloud_ecs_disk_metric_write_iops
