Use explorer
In the explorer, you can view metrics and logs collected by the monitoring service on a per-resource basis for each service. When alarms are triggered by metric or log policies, you can use the explorer to check metric and log variations for the resource. Here’s how to use the explorer in the Monitoring service.
For details on region-specific monitoring-supported services, refer to the Monitoring documentation.
Metric explorer
In the metric explorer, you can view available metrics for each service and display them in chart form.

- Query metric: Retrieve data using PromQL② Chart type Select chart type
- Line chart: Displays data as a line chart showing metric changes over time
- Area chart: Displays data as a line and shaded area showing metric changes over time
- Table chart: Upcoming feature③ Select data 1 Configure up to five datasets per chart
- Different services and metrics can be selected for each dataset to display in one chart④ Service Select the service to which the monitored resource belongs
- See Monitoring supported services for region-specific monitoring-supported services⑤ Metric Select metric to monitor (e.g., CPU Usage)
- If no metric is available, change the time range on the chart⑥ Filter Filter by selecting specific resources or detailed metric items
- Set conditions and values for filtering, then click the [Add filter] button
- Multiple filters work with the AND condition⑦ Data aggregation Process raw data displayed on the chart according to selected criteria
- Aggregation: Adjust data points shown by selecting aggregation values (avg, max, min) and periods (1 minute)
- Group by: Adjust data values shown by selecting grouping criteria (e.g., instance set ID) and aggregation values⑧ Time filter Time range for viewing selected metrics
- Default: 1 hour ago
- Preset or custom date selection available⑨ Chart Displays chart data based on selected metric and time filter ⑩ Metric Displays each resource item retrieved in chart view -
Use datasets and filters to retrieve and view metrics.
View chart - Query metric
View charts by querying metrics in the metric explorer.
-
Go to KakaoCloud Console > Management > Monitoring > Explore.
-
Select Search metric query in the Metric explorer tab.
Item Description Metric query Enter PromQL (Prometheus Query) to retrieve data
- Provides autocomplete for commands and resources
- Useshift+enterto view charts
- For details on PromQL usage, see the Official Documentation Examples -
After selecting the service and entering the query, click the [View chart] button.
Log explorer
In the log explorer, you can view the log list and detailed information on each log for instances with an agent installed. Logs from the last 5 days are available.
View logs

Item Description Log ID Automatically assigned UUID when the log is generated Instance ID / Instance name - Instance ID: When Beyond Compute Service is selected
- Instance name: When MySQL, MemStore are selectedLog details Search log details
- Click [View details] to view full log detailsCollection date Date when the log was collected
Search logs
Use log attributes as filters to search for logs that meet specific criteria. You can also search directly by keyword without selecting an attribute, which will search across all attributes.
When special characters (-,_,/, etc.) are included in a search keyword, enclose the keyword in quotes (“ ”).
Example: “host-name”, “/folder/sub”, “instance-id”
-
Go to KakaoCloud Console > Management > Monitoring.
-
Enter keywords in the log filter in the Log explorer tab, or use filters to search for logs.
- Select an attribute and enter a keyword to add a search chip. Multiple search chips can be added; attribute-based chips operate with AND conditions, and keyword-based searches operate with OR conditions.
Log attribute filter Description Instance ID Search by the ID of the instance for log review Instance name Available when MySQL or MemStore is selected
- Not supported for Beyond Compute ServiceLog details Search for keywords within the log content Host name Search by the host name assigned to the instance File path Search for keywords within the file path of the log -
After setting search criteria, view the search results in chart and log list form.
