Resource Group Monitoring

Scenarios

Cloud Eye provides the resource group and alarm functions. With it, you can group and monitor resources and receive alarm notifications of the resources in different groups.

This section describes how to do this.

Prerequisites

The Agent has been installed on ECS-01 and ECS-02. For details, see Agent Installation and Configuration.

Step 1 Creating a Resource Group

1. Log in to the Cloud Eye console.
2. In the navigation pane, choose Resource Groups.
3. In the upper right corner, click Create Resource Group.
4. Enter the group name as prompted. In this example, enter Development-group-resources.
5. Select the target cloud service resources.
6. Click Create.

Step 2 Creating a Topic and Configuring the Notification Object

When resource exceptions occur, an alarm notification can be sent to the configured topic subscribers.

1. Log in to the SMN console.
2. In the navigation pane, choose Topic Management > Topics.

   The Topics page is displayed.

3. In the upper right corner, click Create Topic.

   The Create Topic dialog box is displayed.

4. Set the parameters as prompted. For details about the parameters, see Creating a Topic.
5. Click OK.

   The topic you created is displayed in the topic list.

   

   Click the topic name to view the topic details and the total number of topic subscriptions.

6. In the topic list, locate the new topic. In the Operation column, click More and select Add Subscription.
7. Specify the subscription protocol and endpoints.
8. Click OK.

   The subscriptions you added are displayed in the subscription list.

Step 3 Creating an Alarm Rule

1. Log in to the Cloud Eye console.
2. In the navigation pane, choose Alarm Management > Rule Settings.
   

   In some regions, the path is Alarm Management > Alarm Rules.

3. In the upper right corner, click Create Alarm Rule.
4. On the displayed page, set parameters as prompted. For details about the parameters, see Creating an Alarm Rule and Notifications.
   

   Set the monitoring scope to Resource groups and select the Development team resources group created in Step 1 Creating a Resource Group.

   1. Set Alarm Notification parameters.
      

      • Select Topic subscriptions for Notified By and select the Mytopic topic created in Step 2 Creating a Topic and Configuring the Notification Object.
      • Alarm notifications sent by SMN will be billed. For details, see Product Pricing Details.
   2. Click Create.

After the alarm rule is added, if the metric data reaches the threshold, Cloud Eye immediately informs you that the metric data of group Development group resources (ECS-01 and ECS-02) is abnormal through SMN.
