Configuring Resource Groups for Metric Alarms

Creating a Resource Group by Matching Resources by Tag

When you need to group services of different owners, you are advised to set Add Resources to Tag. This matching rule relies on the accuracy of resource tags. For example, the tag env=pro,business=xxx indicates resources of the xxx service in the production environment.

1. Log in to the management console.
2. In the upper left corner, select a region and a project.
3. Choose Service List > Cloud Eye.
4. In the navigation pane, choose Resource Groups.
5. In the upper right corner, click Create Resource Group.
6. On the Create Resource Group page, set parameters.

   Add Resources	Automatically	Method of adding or matching resources to a resource group.
   Match Resources By	Tag	How resources are added to a resource group.
   Resource Level	Cloud product	Resource level of the monitored object. You can select Cloud product or Specific dimension. If Resource Level is set to Cloud product, you need to select a cloud product. If Resource Level is set to Specific dimension, all available resources in the selected dimensions will be automatically added to this resource group. For details, click View Types of Resources That Can Be Added Automatically.
   Cloud Product	Elastic Cloud Server - ECSs	If Resource Level is set to Cloud service, you need to select the cloud service that the instance belongs to. You can select one or more cloud services. If Cloud Product is set to All, all cloud products that are interconnected with Cloud Eye will be selected.
   Matching Rule	Tag 1: env=pro, Tag 2: business=xxx	Tag matching rule. You can add up to 50 tags. Key-value pairs that you can use to easily categorize and search for cloud resources. Resource tag key: A tag key cannot start or end with a space, or start with _sys_. It can contain up to 128 characters and contain letters, digits, spaces, and these special characters: _.:=+-@ Resource tag value: A tag value consists of the matching method and value. The matching method can be set to Equal, All, Include, Prefix, Suffix, or Not include. The value can contain up to 255 characters and contain letters, digits, spaces, and these special characters: _.:/=+-@ NOTE: If you enter multiple tags, the relationship between different keys is AND, and the relationship between values of the same key is OR.
   Enterprise Project	Enterprise Project A	Enterprise project that the resource group belongs to

2. In the upper left corner, select a region and a project.
3. Choose Service List > Cloud Eye.
4. In the navigation pane, choose Resource Groups.
5. In the upper right corner, click Create Resource Group.

Creating a Resource Group by Matching Resources by Multiple Criteria

When you create a resource group with Match Resources By set to Multiple Criteria, you can choose to match resources by enterprise project and tag. This method is similar to matching resources by tag. If a large number of tags are added for resources, the matching will be complex. This method is suitable for accounts with fewer tags.

1. Log in to the management console.
2. In the upper left corner, select a region and a project.
3. Choose Service List > Cloud Eye.
4. In the navigation pane, choose Resource Groups.
5. In the upper right corner, click Create Resource Group.
6. On the Create Resource Group page, set parameters.

   Add Resources	Automatically	Method of adding or matching resources to a resource group.
   Match Resources By	Multiple criteria	How resources are added to a resource group.
   Resource Level	Cloud product	Resource level of the monitored object. You can select Cloud product or Specific dimension. If Resource Level is set to Cloud product, you need to select a cloud product. If Resource Level is set to Specific dimension, all available resources in the selected dimensions will be automatically added to this resource group. For details, click View Types of Resources That Can Be Added Automatically.

If Cloud Product is set to All, all cloud products that are interconnected with Cloud Eye will be selected.
   Multi-Criteria Match	Enterprise project and Tag Combination method 1: env=pro,enterprise project B Combination method 2: business=xxx,enterprise project B	Combination method for matching resources by multiple criteria. After selecting a combination method, you need to set the corresponding matching rule. Each rule allows up to 50 combinations. If Resource Level is set to Cloud product, you can select at least two matching criteria from Enterprise project, Tag, and Instance name. If Resource Level is set to Specific dimension, Enterprise project and Tag are selected by default and cannot be changed. NOTE: The relationship between different combinations is OR. The relationship between different matching rules in the same combination is AND.

Creating a Resource Group by Manually Selecting Cloud Products

Some services do not support automatic resource addition or resource match by tag for a resource group. For details about these services, see Cloud Services Supported by Resource Groups. To perform rights- and domain-based configuration for resources of these services, you need to manually select resources, which is complex.

1. Log in to the management console.
2. In the upper left corner, select a region and a project.
3. Choose Service List > Cloud Eye.
4. In the navigation pane, choose Resource Groups.
5. In the upper right corner, click Create Resource Group.
6. On the Create Resource Group page, set parameters.

Creating a Resource Group by Manually Selecting Dimensions

• You created a resource group for which resources are added automatically and set Resource Level to Specific dimension, but resources of the selected dimension cannot be tagged for some reasons.

  For example, when you create a service in CCE, the listener created in ELB is automatically called. In this case, you need to set Resource Level to Specific dimension because only one type of resource (listener) needs to be added.

• Some resources require specific thresholds.

  For example, the message stacking threshold of a queue in a RabbitMQ instance needs to be lowered.

1. Log in to the management console.
2. In the upper left corner, select a region and a project.
3. Choose Service List > Cloud Eye.
4. In the navigation pane, choose Resource Groups.
5. In the upper right corner, click Create Resource Group.
6. On the Create Resource Group page, set parameters.

   Name: Name of a resource group. The value can contain 1 to 128 characters. Only letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-) are allowed.

   Add Resources: Select Manually.

   Resource Level: Select Specific dimension.
