Website Monitoring

A large number of offering categories, user information, transaction quantity, and store display information slow down the website access of different users. You can use website monitoring to monitor the website availability, perform continuous dialing tests on interfaces such as categories, users, transactions, and stores to test the interface availability, and check whether the service system is normal.

This section uses www.example.com as an example to describe how to create a monitor and how to create alarm rules for website availability, response time, and packet loss rate, so that when an exception occurs, users can be notified in a timely manner.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Under Management & Deployment, select Cloud Eye.
  3. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Website Monitoring.
  4. On the Website Monitoring page, click Create Monitor in the upper right corner.
  5. In the displayed Create Monitor dialog box, set parameters as prompted.

  6. Click OK.
  7. Locate the created monitor, and click Create Alarm Rule in the Operation column.
  8. On the Create Alarm Rule page, follow the prompts to set the parameters. For details, see Parameter description.

    You are advised to set the thresholds of availability to ≤ 95%, response time to ≥ 400 ms, and packet loss rate to ≥ 5%, respectively. Set alarm severities of these alarm rules to major.

  9. Click Create.

    When the website availability, response time, or packet loss rate is abnormal, Cloud Eye notifies you of the resource exception in real time through the SMN service.
