Viewing Instance Monitoring Information

Log in to the GES management console and choose Graph Management.
In the graph list, locate the row that contains the target graph, choose More, and select View Metric to access the Cloud Eye management console. By default, the graph instance monitoring information is displayed.
You can select a monitoring metric name and time range to check the performance curve.

Creating an Alarm Rule

By setting alarm rules for GES, you can customize monitoring objects and notification policies to promptly understand the operational status of GES and serve as an early warning.

Alarm rule settings for GES include parameters such as alarm rule name, monitoring object, monitoring metrics, alarm threshold, monitoring cycle, and notification sending.

This part describes how to set an alarm rule for GES.

Log in to the GES management console and choose Graph Management from the navigation pane on the left.
Locate the row containing the target instance, choose More in the Operation column, and select View Metric to access the Cloud Eye management console and check the GES monitoring information.
Figure 1 Selecting View Metrics

Ensure that the status of the instance whose monitoring information you want to view is Running. Otherwise, you cannot create an alarm.
In the navigation pane on the left of the Cloud Eye management console, choose Alarm Management > Alarm Rules. On the page displayed, click Create Alarm Rule in the upper right corner or in the middle.

On the Create Alarm Rule page, set parameters as prompted.

Setting alarm parameters

Figure 2 Setting parameters

**Table 3** Alarm parameters
Parameter	Description	Example Value
Alarm Type	Alarm type the alarm rule applies to. The value can be Metric or Event.	Metric
Resource Type	Name of the cloud service the alarm rule is created for	Graph Engine Service
Dimension	Metric dimension of the selected resource type. Select Graph Instance.	Graph Instance
Monitoring Scope	Resource scope the alarm rule applies to. Select Specified resources and select one or more monitored objects. Click Select Specific Resources and select the cluster instance you have created.	Specific resources
Method	You can create an alarm rule by using the template or manually creating it. If no alarm template is available, set Method to Create manually and configure related parameters to create an alarm rule. If you have available alarm rule templates, set Method to Use template, so that you can use a template to quickly create alarm rules.	Create manually
Method	There are three options: Associate template, Use existing template, and Configure manually.	Associate template
Template	This parameter is available only when Use template is selected. Select the template to be used. If no alarm template is available, click Create Custom Template to create one that meets your requirements.	-
Alarm Policy	This parameter is available only when Configure manually is selected for Method. Set the policy that triggers an alarm. For example, trigger an alarm if the CPU usage equals to or is greater than 80% for 3 consecutive periods. For details about GES monitoring metrics, see Monitoring Metrics.	-
Alarm Severity	Alarm severity, which can be Critical, Major, Minor, or Informational.	Major

Configure the alarm notification parameters as prompted.

Figure 3 Setting alarm notification parameters

**Table 4** Alarm notification parameters
Parameter	Description	Example Value
Alarm Notification	Whether to send email, SMS, HTTP, or HTTPS notifications to users when an alarm is triggered You can enable (recommended) or disable this function.	Enable this function
Notification Recipient	You can select Notification group or Topic subscription.	Topic subscription
Notification Object	This parameter is mandatory when Notification Recipient is set to Topic subscription. Name of the topic the alarm notification is to be sent to. If you have enabled Alarm Notification, select a topic. If no desirable topics are available, create one first, whereupon the SMN service is invoked. For details about how to create a topic, see Creating a Topic.	SMN topic
Notification Group	This parameter is mandatory when Notification Recipient is set to Notification group. You can select or create a notification group. After creating a notification group, you need to click Add Notification Recipient in the Operation column of the notification group list to add group members and notification methods.	Notification group name
Notification Template	You can select a system template or create a custom notification template.	System template
Notification Window	Notifications are sent only within the notification window specified in the alarm rule. For example, if Notification Window is set to 00:00–08:00, Cloud Eye sends notifications only within this period.	-
Trigger Condition	Condition for triggering the alarm notification. You can select Generated alarm (when an alarm is generated), Cleared alarm (when an alarm is cleared), or both.	-

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

Transferring Data to OBS

On Cloud Eye, raw metric data is only stored for two days. However, if you subscribe to OBS, you can synchronize the raw data and extend the storage period.
