Creating an Alarm Rule

Scenarios

Cloud Eye lets you create alarm rules for Workspace and set notifications. This allows users to get real-time notifications and take immediate action when an alarm is triggered.

Prerequisites

To set alarm rules, you must have the CES FullAccess permissions. If a message appears indicating insufficient permissions, contact the administrator to grant you the permissions. For details, see Permissions.

Billing

You will not be charged for the basic alarm function. Alarm notifications sent by SMN will generate additional costs. For details, see Billing.

Procedure

1. Log in to the console.
2. In All Services, choose Cloud Eye under Management & Governance.
3. In the navigation pane, choose Alarm Management > Alarm Rules.
4. Click Create Alarm Rule in the upper right corner.
5. Configure alarm rule parameters.
   • If you select Metric for Alarm Type, you can create alarm rules by referring to Monitoring Metrics Reported by Workspace to Cloud Eye or Cloud Eye OS Monitoring Metrics Supported by Workspace (with Agent Installed), as shown in Figure 1.
