Mastering the Console: Core Functionality & Capabilities

Frontend cloud hosting

The platform was created to help you manage your environments in the Alokai Cloud, applying various options. You can enable your environments with CDN or add custom domains, restrict access to the instance by configuring a list of IP addresses, and more. User management functionality is also available: add users to Console and define their access role.

Uptime monitoring

With Console, you can get visualized uptime statistics that present a percentage availability of a given environment in different periods: from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. Uptime monitoring allows you to reduce resolution time with automated alerts in case of downtime.

Alerting

In Console, you can configure three alerting policies: 

• Uptime
• HTTP 5XX
• HTTP 4XX

The alerting policy is based on two triggers: events and thresholds, monitored on an ongoing basis. This feature allows you to easily subscribe and remove users who should be notified via email in case of an alert.

Metrics monitoring

Console comes with real-time visual analytics for Response codes, Request latency, Memory, and CPU usage to help users:

• see anomalies in responses
• detect problems with the application or the environment
• respond immediately to cover any issues that arose

Logs

Console provides a detailed record of all server and website activity in the form of logs. They can help your team:

• troubleshoot issues that may appear on the server or website
• detect patterns and anomalies in website traffic and usage
• define and investigate security incidents such as unauthorized access attempts

You can count on convenient logs usage since, in Console, they can be filtered by source and severity.

Easy cloud environment management and monitoring

Console is an easy-to-use cloud hosting platform with comprehensive services, such as infrastructure monitoring, logs, and alerting. This is a module you need to achieve seamless monitoring and management of environments in the Alokai Cloud. Try the Console to drive your web performance, ensure 100% security and ensure your eCommerce business maturity.
