Monitoring ELB Resources

Scenarios

Cloud Eye is a multi-dimensional resource monitoring service. You can use Cloud Eye to monitor ELB resources in real time, set alarm rules, identify resource exceptions, and quickly respond to resource changes.

Cloud Eye is enabled automatically after you create a load balancer. For more information about Cloud Eye, see What Is Cloud Eye?

Setting an Alarm Rule

You can set alarm rules on the Cloud Eye console to send you notifications in case of exceptions.

For details about how to set alarm rules, see Creating an Alarm Rule.

On Cloud Eye, you can configure alarm rules for events. When there are specified events, you will receive alarm notifications. For details about how to create an alarm rule for an event, see Creating an Alarm Rule to Monitor an Event.
