Exception Diagnosis
Last updated:2026-03-19 16:56:26
The exception diagnosis feature provides real-time performance monitoring, health inspection, and failure diagnosis for your database instances. It allows you to intuitively perceive the real-time operation status and locate performance exceptions as they occur.
Overview
Viewing the Diagnostic Information
1. Log in to the TencentDB for DBbrain (DBbrain) console.
2. In the left sidebar, select Performance Optimization.
3. At the top of the page, select the database type and instance ID, and select the Exception Diagnosis tab.
4. On the right side of the page, select to view real-time or historical diagnosis information.
5. View the health score trend chart, diagnosed exception events, and instance architecture diagram within the selected time period.
Viewing the health score trend chart
Click any time point on the trend chart to display the health score at that time point.
Viewing the diagnosis event bar chart
Hover the cursor over the diagnosis event bar chart to display information such as risk level, overview, and start/end time. Click the bar chart to go to the event details page to view information such as event details, description, intelligent analysis, and optimization suggestions. For more information about how to view event details, see Exception Alarms.
Viewing real-time data for health score and instance architecture diagram
Health score: Real-time data will be displayed for health score, CPU utilization, memory utilization, connection utilization, read request hit rate, inbound traffic utilization, and outbound traffic utilization.
You can click Details under the health score to go to the health report page and view the health score, score details, and health report.
Instance architecture diagram: displays the proxy and node architecture of the instance, including the location of nodes triggering alerts. Hover the cursor over a node or proxy to display the corresponding average metric values.
Viewing the Diagnostic Prompts
Diagnosis events are categorized into Healthy, Note, Alarm, Serious, and Critical levels. DBbrain performs regular health inspections on instances every 10 minutes.
1. Log in to the DBbrain console.
2. In the left sidebar, select Performance Optimization.
3. At the top of the page, select the database type and instance ID, and select the Exception Diagnosis tab.
4. On the right side of the page, select to view real-time or historical diagnosis information.
Real-time: Select Real-time to display the risk distribution and diagnosis details for the last three hours.
Historical: Select Historical to display the risk distribution and diagnosis details for the selected time period.
5. View the diagnostic prompts for the selected time range.
Viewing the diagnosis event details
In the Diagnosis Details section, click the row of a specific event alarm, or hover the cursor over the event alarm and click View to go to the event details page and view the event details.
Event details mainly include event details, description, intelligent analysis, and optimization suggestions. The event details displayed vary depending on the diagnosis type. The details actually displayed shall prevail.
Event details: includes information such as diagnosis item, start/end time, risk level, and overview.
Description: includes information such as problem snapshots and performance trends of the exception or health inspection event.
