Introducing Event Monitoring

Event monitoring provides reporting, query, and alarm functions for event data. You can create alarm rules for both system events and custom events. When specific events occur, Cloud Eye generates alarms for you.

Events are key operations on GaussDB(for MySQL) that are stored and monitored by Cloud Eye. You can view events to see operations performed by specific users on specific resources, such as deleting a read replica or changing instance specifications.

Event monitoring provides an API for reporting custom events (abnormal events or important change events) generated by services to Cloud Eye.

Event monitoring is enabled by default. You can view monitoring details about system events and custom events. For details about system events, see Events Supported by Event Monitoring.
