View the various metrics associated with a load balancer's performance.

You can view the following types of metrics for load balancers:

Viewing Metrics for a Single Load Balancer

  1. On the Load balancers list page, find the load balancer that you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page or the load balancer, see Listing Load Balancers.
  2. On the load balancer's details page, select Metrics.
  3. In the Metrics section, enter the following:

    • Start time: The date-time group for when the metric period starts.

    • End time: The date-time group for when the metric period ends.

    • Quick selects: Select a predetermined time period for the metric period from the list.

  4. For each metric displayed on the page, you can apply the following commands from the Action menu (…) in the upper right corner:

    • View query in Metrics Explorer: View the metric in the Monitoring service's Metrics Explorer. See Viewing a Custom Metric Chart for more information.

    • Copy chart URL: Copy the URL of the metric chart to your computer's clipboard, where you can paste it into another source.

    • Copy query (MQL): Copy the Monitoring Query Language query to your computer's clipboard, where you can paste it into another source. See Building Metric Queries for more information.

    • Create an alarm on this query: Create an alarm. See Creating an Alarm for more information.

    • Table/Chart view: Display the metrics in the opposite format to what is current used.

For more information about monitoring metrics and using alarms, see Overview of Monitoring. For information about notifications for alarms, see Overview of Notifications.
