Set Notification Object to an SMN topic and use the default settings for other parameters.

  4. Create an alarm rule for monitoring your on-premises links.

    Create a website monitoring task, set Type to PING, URL to the gateway IP address of your on-premises data center, and retain the default settings for other parameters. Create an alarm rule, select Website Monitoring for Resource Type, set Monitoring Scope to Specific resources and select the target website monitoring task, set Method to Create manually, and Alarm Policy to Available Monitoring Location Count, and configure other parameter as required.
