Logging Metrics
Review available Monitoring metrics for the Logging service.
You can monitor the health, capacity, and performance of your logs and log groups by using metrics , alarms , and notifications.
This topic describes the metrics emitted by the Logging service in the <oci_logging> metric namespace.
Resources: Service and custom logs.
Overview of the Logging Service Metrics
The Logging service metrics help you measure the number and type of connections between services in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. You can use metrics data to diagnose and troubleshoot logging issues.
To view a default set of metrics charts in the Console, navigate to the log or log group you're interested in, and then click Metrics. You also can use the Monitoring service to create custom queries.
Prerequisites
IAM policies: To monitor resources, you must be granted the required type of access in a policy written by an administrator, whether you're using the Console or the REST API with an SDK, CLI, or other tool. The policy must give you access to both the monitoring services and the resources being monitored. If you try to perform an action and get a message that you don't have permission or are unauthorized, contact the administrator to find out what type of access you were granted and which compartment you need to work in. For more information about user authorizations for monitoring, see IAM Policies.
