Creating an Alarm Rule to Monitor a Server

Updated on 2024-09-30 GMT+08:00

Scenarios

This topic describes how to create an alarm rule for an ECS or BMS.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. In the upper left corner, select a region and project.
  3. Click Service List in the upper left corner and select Cloud Eye.
  4. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Server Monitoring.
  5. Locate the ECS or BMS. In the Operation column, choose More > Create Alarm Rule.
  6. On the Create Alarm Rule page, follow the prompts to configure the parameters.
    1. Configure the alarm rule name, description, and associated enterprise project.
      Table 1 Parameter description

      Parameter

      Description

      Name

      Specifies the alarm rule name. The system generates a random name, which you can modify.

      Description

      (Optional) Provides supplementary information about the alarm rule.

    2. Select a monitored object and configure alarm content parameters.
      Table 2 Parameter description

      Parameter

      Description

      Example Value

      Resource Type

      Specifies the type of the resource the alarm rule is created for.

      Elastic Cloud Server

      Dimension

      Specifies the metric dimension of the selected resource type.

      ECSs

      Monitoring Scope

      Specifies the monitoring scope the alarm rule applies to.

      Specific resources

      Monitored Object

      You do not need to set the monitored object because it is the current ECS.

      N/A

      Method

      There are three options: Associate template, Use existing template, and Configure manually.

      NOTE:

      After an associated template is modified, the policies contained in this alarm rule to be created will be modified accordingly.

      Configure manually

      Template

      Specifies the template to be used.

      You can select a default alarm template or a custom template.

      N/A

      Alarm Policy

      Specifies the policy for triggering an alarm.

      For example, an alarm is triggered if the average CPU usage of the monitored object is 80% or more for three consecutive 5-minute periods. Cloud Eye triggers an alarm every one hour again if the alarm persists.

      For details about basic and OS monitoring metrics, see Services Interconnected with Cloud Eye.

      NOTE:
      • That is, if the alarm is not cleared after it is generated, an alarm notification is sent, once every hour.
      • A maximum of 50 alarm policies can be added to an alarm rule. If any one of these alarm policies is met, an alarm is triggered.

      N/A

      Mount Point or Disk

      This parameter is mandatory when the metric is a fine-grained disk metric.

      For the Windows OS, enter a drive letter, such as C, D, or E. For the Linux OS, enter a mount point, such as /dev or /opt.

      /dev

      Alarm Severity

      Specifies the alarm severity, which can be Critical, Major, Minor, or Informational.

      Major

    3. Configure the alarm notification.
      Table 3 Parameter description

      Parameter

      Description

      Alarm Notification

      Specifies whether to notify users when alarms are triggered. Notifications can be sent by email, SMS message, or HTTP/HTTPS message.

      Notification Object

      Specifies the object to which alarm notifications will be sent. You can select the account contact or a topic.

      • The account contact is the tenant owner. If a user registers both a mobile number and an email address, they will receive alarm information through both channels. However, if only one of these contact methods is registered, the alarm information will be sent exclusively to that registered one.
      • A topic is a specific event type for publishing messages or subscribing to notifications. If the required topic is not available, create one first and add subscriptions to it. For details, Creating a Topic and Adding Subscriptions.

      Validity Period

      Cloud Eye sends notifications only within the validity period specified in the alarm rule.

      If Validity Period is set to 08:00-20:00, Cloud Eye sends notifications only from 08:00 to 20:00.

      Trigger Condition

      Specifies the condition for triggering an alarm notification. You can select Generated alarm (when an alarm is generated), Cleared alarm (when an alarm is cleared), or both.

    4. Select an enterprise project.
      Figure 1 Advanced Settings
      Table 4 Name and Description

      Parameter

      Description

      Enterprise Project

      Specifies the enterprise project that the alarm rule belongs to. Only users with the enterprise project permissions can view and manage the alarm rule. For details about how to create an enterprise project, see Creating an Enterprise Project.

    5. Click Create.

After the alarm rule is created, if the metric data reaches the specified threshold, Cloud Eye immediately informs you that an exception has occurred.
