Creating Notification Rules

This function is available in AF-Johannesburg, LA-Mexico City1, LA-Mexico City2, LA-Sao Paulo1, and LA-Santiago.

AOM supports alarm notification. You can create notification rules. When alarms are reported due to an exception in AOM or an external service, alarm information can be sent to specified personnel by email or Short Message Service (SMS) message. In this way, they can rectify faults in time to avoid service loss.

If no notification rules exist, no alarm notifications will be sent. In this case, you can only view alarms on the Alarm List page in the AOM console.

Procedure

After notification rules are created, SMS messages or emails are sent when the notification rules are met.

Log in to the AOM console. In the navigation pane, choose Alarm Center > Notification Rules. Then, click Create Notification Rule in the upper right corner.
Click Create SMN Topic and set a notification policy on the Simple Message Notification (SMN) console when AOM is interconnected with SMN. If you have already configured a notification policy, skip this step.
1. Create a topic.
  For example, create a topic named Topic1.
2. Set a topic policy.
  Select APM for Services that can publish messages to this topic. If APM is not selected, notifications cannot be sent.
3. Add a subscription to a topic. SMN can then send alarm notifications to subscribers in real time.
  For example, enter the email addresses of O&M personnel.
Create a notification rule. Specifically, enter the rule name, select the notification condition, select the topic created in 2, select the time zone and language as required, enter the notification message, and click Confirm, as shown in Figure 1.
