Configuring Alarm Rules

DDS allows you to set threshold rules for instance metrics. If the value of a metric exceeds the threshold, an alarm is triggered. The system automatically sends an alarm notification to the cloud account contact through SMN, helping you learn about the running status of the DDS instance in a timely manner.

You can configure alarm rules on the Cloud Eye console.

Precautions

The basic alarm function is free of charge. SMN sends you the alarm messages and charges you for that. For pricing details, see .
