Configuring Alarm Reporting

Scenarios

If you want to be notified when CPU and disk usage thresholds are reached, enable alarm reporting for RDS for MySQL DB instances in an enterprise project. Once alarm reporting is enabled, the DB instances you create after the function is enabled are automatically added to Cloud Eye. If a configured threshold is reached, you will see an alarm reported on Cloud Eye and be notified by a text message or email sent from SMN.

To view or modify the DB instances with alarm reporting enabled, go to the Cloud Eye console. For details, see Modifying an Alarm Rule.

To view or modify the phone number or email address, open the details page of the alarm rule on Cloud Eye and click the topic under Alarm Notifications. For details, see Adding a Subscription.

Supported Regions

Alarm reporting is supported in the following regions: CN North-Beijing2, CN North-Beijing4, CN East-Shanghai1, CN South-Guangzhou, CN Southwest-Guiyang1, CN-Hong Kong, CN North-Ulanqab201, and CN North-Ulanqab202.
