Creating an Alarm Rule¶
Scenarios¶
The alarm function provides the alarm service for monitoring data. By creating alarm rules, you define how the alarm system checks monitoring data and sends alarm notifications when monitoring data meets alarm policies.
After creating alarm rules for important metrics or events, you can promptly identify metric data exceptions or events and quickly rectify the faults.
Functions¶
Alarm rules can be created for all monitoring items on Cloud Eye.
Alarm rules can be created for all resources, resource groups, log monitoring, and custom monitoring.
You can set notification windows of alarm rules, that is, customize the time when alarm rules are applied.
Notifications can be sent by email, SMS message, or HTTP/HTTPS message.
Procedure¶
Log in to the management console.
In the upper left corner, select a region and project.
Click Service List in the upper left corner and select Cloud Eye.
In the navigation pane, choose Alarm Management > Alarm Rules. Click Create Alarm Rule in the upper right corner.
On the Create Alarm Rule page, configure the parameters by referring to Table 1 to Table 4.
After the alarm rule is created, if the metric data reaches the specified threshold or the specified events occur, Cloud Eye immediately informs you that an exception has occurred.
