Cloud Resource Usage Monitoring Dashboard
Why Choose This Project?
In cloud environments, resources like CPU, RAM, storage, and network are dynamically allocated and scaled. Monitoring their usage in real-time helps optimize performance, reduce costs, and detect potential system failures or anomalies.
This project provides a web-based dashboard for tracking and visualizing cloud resource usage across virtual machines (VMs), containers, or services in a cloud infrastructure.

How It Works
-
Cloud Agent or API Integration
A script or service fetches live resource metrics from cloud APIs (like AWS CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, or custom VMs via Prometheus). -
Data Ingestion & Storage
The collected metrics are pushed to the backend API and stored in a cloud database with timestamps. -
Dashboard Visualization
The frontend queries backend APIs and displays real-time and historical resource usage using dynamic charts. -
Alert System
If resource usage exceeds defined thresholds, the system sends an alert email or flags the metric in red on the dashboard. -
Report & Analytics
Admins can view usage trends, generate reports, and identify which services are consuming the most resources.
