Monitoring Firewalls
Monitor the health, capacity, and performance of your firewalls by using metrics, alarms, and notifications.
This topic describes the metrics emitted by the metric namespace
oci_network_firewall
.
Available metrics: oci_network_firewall
The metrics in the following table are available for any firewall you create. You don't need to enable monitoring on the resource to get these metrics. However, you must have the firewall set up with network traffic passing through it to make the oci_network_firewall
metric space available in the Metrics Explorer. Firewalls without network traffic emit no metric data.
Each metric includes one or more of the following dimensions:
- resourceID
- The OCID of the firewall.
- resourceName
- The name of the firewall.
