Creating an Alarm Rule

Scenarios

The alarm function provides the alarm service for monitoring data. By creating alarm rules, you define how the alarm system checks monitoring data and sends alarm notifications when metric data meets alarm policies.

Functions

• Alarm rules can be created for all monitoring items on Cloud Eye.
• Alarm rules can be created for all resources, resource groups, log monitoring, custom monitoring, event monitoring, and website monitoring.
• You can set validity periods of alarm rules, that is, customize the time when alarm rules take effect.
• Notifications can be sent by email, text message, or HTTP/HTTPS message.

Procedure

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click Service List in the upper left corner, and select Cloud Eye.
3. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Alarm Management > Alarm Rules, and click Create Alarm Rule in the upper right corner.

After the alarm rule is created, if the metric data reaches the specified threshold, Cloud Eye immediately informs you that an exception has occurred.
