There are restrictions (quotas and limits) on a number of resources in Monium.

  • Quotas are organizational constraints that can be changed by contacting technical support.
  • Limits are technical constraints of the Yandex Cloud architecture. You cannot change the limits.

Viewing current quotasViewing current quotas

Monium UI
  1. On the Monium home page, select Quotas on the left.
  2. Select the project in the top left or leave the current one.
  3. On the Project quotas tab, view the quota values ​​for resource groups.
  4. To view quotas for individual shards, go to the Distribution by shards tab on the Quotas page.
  5. For each shard, it gives the following values:
    • Used: Shard's current resource consumption.
    • Limit: Shard's maximum quota.
    • Utilization: Share of used quota (consumption to limit ratio). Shows how close current consumption is to the quota.

Changing quotasChanging quotas

Monium UI
  1. Make sure your account has the monium.admin or monium.editor role.
  2. On the Monium home page, select Quotas on the left.
  3. Select the project in the top left or leave the current one.
  4. On the Project quotas tab, in the quota group, click Change quota amount.
  5. In the window that opens, enter new values for the group's quotas.
  6. Click Create request.

You can increase and decrease quotas.

A quota increase is confirmed automatically but only up to a certain limit. If a higher quota is required, the system will prompt you to contact support for further approval.

Reducing the quota helps you limit unexpected consumption spikes. For example, after a release, the application started to generate too many logs. In which case you can first reduce the quota and then proceed to investigate the cause, roll back the release, or make a fix. This will help you manage your expenses.

Resources subject to quotasResources subject to quotas

  • Metrics:
    • Metrics Write: Speed of writing points to shard metrics, in points per second. Once the quota is exhausted, the service will randomly discard points for stored metrics. The charts may start having gaps.
    • Stored Metrics: Number of unique metrics (time series). Once the quota is exhausted, new metrics will not be saved. Data will continue to be written to existing metrics.
  • Alerts:
    • Alerts Count: Number of alerts and sub-alerts in the project. Once the quota is exhausted, you will not be able to create new alerts and sub-alerts.
  • Logs:
    • Logs Write: Stream of logs to write, mebibytes per second. Once the quota is exhausted, the service will begin randomly discarding incoming logs.
  • Traces:
    • Spans Write: Stream of spans to write, mebibytes per second. Once the quota is exhausted, the service will begin randomly discarding incoming spans. Because of this, some traces may not be fully collected.
