Monitoring
Included in every plan. Monitoring is the always-on foundation Vigil is built on — a single view of your infrastructure across every cloud you run.
What it is
Continuous collection of metrics and health signals from your cloud infrastructure, rendered as live dashboards with alerting on top.
What you get
- Unified multi-cloud monitoring — AWS, Azure, GCP, and DigitalOcean in one view
- Live Grafana dashboards — service-aware, per-tier retention (7 / 30 / 90 days)
- Automatic asset discovery & inventory — your resources are found and mapped without manual configuration
- Uptime / URL monitoring — availability checks on the endpoints you care about
- Smart alerting — routed to Slack, PagerDuty, or email
How to enable
Monitoring is on from day one. Just connect a cloud account and data starts flowing within about an hour.
How to read it
- Portal dashboard — a high-level overview of what’s healthy and what needs attention.
- Grafana — drill into per-service metrics, zoom into incident windows, and compare trends.
- Uptime — see which monitored endpoints are up, and history of any downtime.
FAQ
Which resources are monitored? Compute, databases, storage, networking, serverless, and load balancers across your connected accounts — discovered automatically.
How current is the data? Live metrics refresh continuously; the collection interval sharpens with tier (60s / 30s / 15s).
Can I get monitoring without the other modules? Yes — the Essentials package is monitoring only. See Plans & modules.
