Monitoring Flow overview

Beta

Monitoring Flow service in KakaoCloud allows you to visually design and adjust workflows for automating business processes and monitoring. It monitors application endpoints by creating scenarios that utilize APIs and can be managed to run automatically through scheduling. This makes it easier to manage the application’s status.

Additionally, Monitoring Flow can integrate with KakaoCloud’s Alert Center. By setting threshold alerts for key metrics in Alert Center, notifications are sent to the relevant personnel immediately when thresholds are reached, enabling more efficient resource management.

Terminology
  • Step: A step is a stage in the scenario. You can define and combine multiple steps to create various scenarios.
  • Scenario: A term used in KakaoCloud to refer to a workflow. It is a process where defined steps are automated according to a schedule to perform monitoring efficiently.

Purpose and use cases​

Monitoring Flow is designed to automate complex workflows and manage them efficiently. Without this service, you would need to handle state transitions and error detection between tasks manually, which increases complexity and makes monitoring and management difficult. A considerable amount of time and effort may be required to manage dependencies between tasks.

KakaoCloud’s Monitoring Flow service allows you to combine and execute workflow steps in a detailed and varied manner, track the system’s status in real-time, and quickly detect and respond to issues. This increases operational efficiency, reduces manual intervention, and enhances system stability and availability.

Features​

Monitoring Flow service manages complex workflows more efficiently and reliably through the following features:

  • Workflow visualization: Visually represent workflows based on user scenarios and run multiple tasks in parallel to improve processing speed.
  • Process structuring and automation: Process complex workflows step by step and adjust the flow through various paths based on conditions at each stage.
  • Serverless architecture: Run workflows in a serverless environment without server management and pay based on usage.
  • Integration with various services: Integrate with various KakaoCloud services to execute tasks and process results.
  • Real-time monitoring and quick response: Monitor workflow execution status and results in real time and track records to identify issues.
  • Intuitive workflow UI: Configure workflows in a web-based console without generating code and check the execution process.
