Creating an Alarm Rule and Notification for DCS Event Monitoring

You can use Cloud Eye to monitor DCS events. After you set event notification, you will be notified upon events such as master/standby switchovers, Redis node exceptions, and data synchronization failures.

If Alarm Notifications is enabled, notifications are sent by the Simple Message Notification (SMN) service, which will incur charges.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and choose Management & Governance > Cloud Eye.
  3. In the navigation pane, choose Event Monitoring,

    Alternatively, in the navigation pane on the left, choose Alarm Management > Rule Settings.

    In some regions, the path is Alarm Management > Alarm Rules.

  4. Click Create Alarm Rule in the upper right corner.
