What is One-Click Inspection?

One-Click Inspection: Comprehensively inspects the health status of key resources and services of the Cloud and scores their healthiness based on the inspection results. In addition, the one-click inspection service provides O&M suggestions and inspection reports. One-click inspection is applicable to centralized O&M scenarios.

Concepts

  • Inspection Categories and Items:
    One-Click Inspection provides five inspection categories, including platform, compute resources, network resources, storage resources, and global settings. You can use the service to inspect key resources and services of the Cloud, such as the management node, hosts, VM instances, backup storages, primary storages, physical and virtual NICs and networks, and licenses.
    • Platform: Check the basic services and running status of the Cloud.
    • Compute: Check the usage and running status of physical and virtual compute resources of the Cloud.
    • Network: Check the configurations and status of physical and virtual networks of the Cloud.
    • Storage: Check the usage and running status of physical storage resources of the Cloud.
    • Global Setting: Check the configurations of key resources of the Cloud.

    After you select items from certain inspection categories and launch inspection, related resources or services are inspected and their healthiness is scored. For more information about inspection items, see Inspection Items.

  • Inspection Results:
    One-Click Inspection provides four inspection results, including Normal, Warning, Fault, Failed.
    • Normal: The inspected resources or services are in normal status. This result is marked with a green icon.
    • Warning: The health status of inspected resources or services is compromised, which may to some extent affect their performance and stability. This result is marked with a yellow icon.
    • Fault: The inspected resources or services are in critical condition and may seriously affect business operations. This result is marked with a red icon.
    • Failed: The inspection on related resources or services fails, which may seriously affect business operations. This result is marked with a grey icon.
  • Healthiness Scoring:

    One-Click Inspection provides an in-built healthiness scoring mechanism for Cloud resources and services. It allows you to grasp the overall running status of the Cloud in a visualized way.

    Scoring on inspected resources/services: Scores resources and services based on the inspection results of related resource and service attributes.
    • If all attributes of a resource or service under inspection are in Normal status, the inspection result of the resource or service is Normal. The score is 100 points.
    • If one attribute of a resource or service under inspection is in Warning state and the other attributes are in Normal status, the inspection result of the resource or service is Warning. The score is 50 points.
    • If one attribute of a resource or service under inspection is in Fault or Failed state, the inspection result of the resource or service is Fault or Failed. The score is 0 points.
    Scoring on inspection items: Scores inspection items based on the inspection results of related resources and services.
    • If an inspection item does not belong to the Global Setting category, the inspection item is scored based on the following mechanism:
      • Score of Inspection Item = (Score of Resource 1 + Score of Resource 2 + …… + Score of Resource N)/(N*100)*100
      • For example, if an inspection item involves 3 resources, which are in Normal, Warning, and Fault/Failed status respectively, the scores of the three resources are 100, 50, and 0 points respectively. Then the score of the inspection item is (100 + 50 + 0)/(3*100)*100=50 points.
    • If an inspection item belongs to the Global Setting category, the inspection item is scored based on the following mechanism:
      • The score of the inspection item is the score of the involved global setting.
      • For example, if the inspection result of the involved global setting is Warning, the score of the global setting is 50 points. Then the score of the inspection item is 50 points.
    Scoring on the Cloud: Scores the Cloud based on the scores of all inspection items.
    • Score of the Cloud = (Score of Inspection Item 1 + Score of Inspection Item 2 + …… + Score of Inspection Item N)/(N*100)*100
    • For example, if you select 3 inspection items, which is scored 100 points, 50 points, and 0 points respectively, then the score of the Cloud is (100 + 50 + 0)/(3*100)*100=50 points.
  • O&M Suggestions:

    If resources and services are detected in Warning or Fault status, One-Click Inspection analyzes the hidden dangers and their effects on these resources and services, and provides suggestions on O&M. For more information, see Inspection Items.

  • Inspection Reports:

    One-Click Inspection allows you to export PDF-formatted inspection reports. An inspection report summarizes platform configurations, resource status, and inspection results. It also provides details of all abnormal inspection items and corresponding O&M suggestions.

Benefits

One-Click Inspection has the following benefits:
  • Comprehensive, customized, and efficient inspection capabilities: Provides five inspection categories that cover all key resources and services of the Cloud and allows you to select inspection items based on your business scenarios. After you launch an inspection, the inspection can be completed within a few minutes.
  • Multi-layered scoring mechanism: The in-built three-layer mechanism of scoring on resources/services, inspection items, and the Cloud allows you to grasp the overall picture as well as details of the Cloud running status.
  • Intelligent O&M suggestions: Provides risk analysis of resources and corresponding countermeasures, facilitating efficient O&M.
