Monitoring Utilization of Managed Resources

Aviatrix Gateways are virtual routers that make up the fabric of your Aviatrix transit network. You can monitor the metrics of the virtual machines (instances) on which your gateways run to see if they are operating with good performance.

You access Performance data in CoPilot by navigating to Monitor > Performance or by typing Performance in the navigation search.

Working with Performance

On the Performance page, CoPilot shows resource utilization data, also known as telemetry statistics, for Aviatrix-managed gateways. The performance data for gateway resources can be viewed across your Aviatrix multicloud or single cloud transit network.

To view Controller, CoPilot, and CoPilot data disk health and performance data, go to Settings > Resources.

You can filter telemetry data based on gateways or network interfaces. When choosing multiple gateways or interfaces, CoPilot displays the data for those resources in comparative graphs.

You can also filter based on time period (last 15, 30, 60 minutes; last 24 hours, last seven days, or show a Live View).

Select one or multiple telemetry metrics to monitor, and the applicable resources, and CoPilot dynamically creates the graphs.

The order in which you select items in the Metrics field determines the order in which the graphs display on the page.

See Metrics Monitored for Aviatrix Resources for metric descriptions. The system and network metrics on which CoPilot reports telemetry data are the same as those used for triggering notifications.

Hover over the plotted nodes in the graphs to view the statistics for each host. If you select the CPU Used (%) metric and data is available, the related graph displays a View vCPU Breakdown button that provides further details.

You can click Save or Save As after selecting your telemetry filters (metrics and gateways) to save that particular view. The saved views are then available from a second drop-down on the Performance page.

After selecting a saved view, you can:

  • Clear it and select another saved view

  • Select new metrics/gateways and create or save another view

You can also manage your available views.

If you want to use the Aviatrix Network Insights API, you can download the Metrics API Specification from the vertical ellipses menu 15. This option only appears if you have already enabled the Network Insights API feature.

Conntrack-Limits Network Performance Metrics

(AWS Cloud) You can monitor the following ConnTrack-limits network performance metrics for Aviatrix Gateway instances:

  • Conntrack Allowance Available — Reports the number of available tracked connections that can be established before an instance’s Connections Tracked allowance is exceeded. This metric is supplied by the Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) driver only on AWS.

  • Conntrack Usage Rate — The rate at which conntrack capacity is being used up in connections per second. The Conntrack Usage Rate metric is only available in AWS where the Conntrack Allowance Available (conntrack_allowance_available) metric is present.

To view performance graphs of these metrics for your Aviatrix gateways:

  1. Go to CoPilot Monitor > Performance page.

  2. Select the applicable gateway(s).

  3. Select the Conntrack Allowance Available metric.

  4. Select the Conntrack Usage Rate metric.

  5. Select the applicable ethx interfaces to monitor.

  6. Click Apply.
