Configuring Message Accumulation Monitoring
Overview
Unprocessed messages accumulate if the client's consumption is slower than the server's sending. Accumulated messages cannot be consumed in time.
Configure alarm rules so that you will be notified when the number of accumulated messages in a consumer group exceeds the threshold. The procedure described in this section can also be applied to setting alarm rules for other metrics.
Prerequisites
You have purchased a Kafka instance, created a topic, and there are available messages.
Procedure
- Log in to the console of DMS for Kafka. Click the instance to be configured with an alarm rule.
- In the left navigation pane, choose Monitoring And Alarm > Details.
- On the By Consumer Group tab page, select the consumer group for which you want to create an alarm rule.
