On Tuesday Google announced that Google App engine are updated by including dashboard to detail system status and billing features. The App Engine System Status dashboard monitors the performance of application components and the Quota Details tool charts resource quotas to let users track how much of the free quota bandwidth, storage and CPU their apps are using.
The main features are -
- Up-to-the-minute overview of our system status with real-time, unedited data
- Daily overall serving status for each of our APIs, including any outages or downtime
- Detailed historical latency and error-rate graphs for the App Engine Datastore, Images, Mail, Memcache, Serving, URL Fetch, and Users components
The company said that- it has launched the App Engine system status site and a quota dashboard to detail items like bandwidth usage and CPU. Google said it also plans a billing dashboard to preview what happens if you go beyond those quotas.
Tom Stocky, director of Google Developer Products, noted in a blog post:
Google will also use this dashboard to announce scheduled downtime and explain any issues that affect App Engine apps. Building in dependencies to third-party services or moving to a new hosting infrastructure is not something developers take lightly. This new App Engine dashboard provides some of the same monitoring data that we use internally, so you can make informed decisions about your hosting infrastructure.
This is big news! I did a faily in-depth review of the new dashboard over at transparentuptime.com.
