More monitor information
After installing BCM-agent on a BCC instance, you can view additional monitor metrics. BCC's public/GPU images come with BCM-agent pre-installed. If you use other images or have deleted BCM-Agent, you can reinstall the instance or manually install it by referring to BCM-Agent Installation Guide.
For more metrics, refer to Cloud Product Metrics List.
