Creating an Alarm Rule

Scenario

Cloud Eye allows you to use alarm templates to create alarm rules. To monitor the usage of cloud service resources or key operations on them, you can create an alarm rule. After the alarm rule is created, if a metric reaches the specified threshold or the specified event occurs, Cloud Eye immediately informs you of the exception through Simple Message Notification (SMN).

In this section, you can learn how to create alarm rules for metrics or events.

Creating an Alarm Rule for Metric Monitoring

  1. Log in to the Cloud Eye console.
  2. In the navigation pane, choose Alarm Management > Alarm Rules.
  3. Click Create Alarm Rule in the upper right corner.
  4. On the Create Alarm Rule page, configure parameters as needed.
    Configure the key parameters as follows:
    1. Configure the alarm rule name and description.
      • Name: Enter a name for the alarm rule, which can be customized or automatically generated by the system.
      • Description: (Optional) Describe the alarm rule.
    2. Configure alarm content parameters.
      • Alarm Type: Select Metric.
      • Cloud Product: Global Accelerator - Global Accelerators
      • Resource Level: Select the resource level of the monitored object. This parameter is only available if Alarm Type is set to Metric. The value can be Cloud product or Specific dimension. Cloud product is recommended.
