Log Service dashboards provide many visual components for you to customize your own dashboard based on log query and analysis results. Now, Log Service allows you to subscribe to dashboards. Log Service can periodically take snapshots of dashboards and send the snapshots to subscribers by email or DingTalk group message.

Limits

  • You can create only one subscription task for a dashboard.
  • You can send up to 50 emails per day under an Alibaba Cloud account.
  • CronExpression can set the minimum interval in units of minutes. We recommend that you set the interval for sending notification messages to at least 1 hour.
  • The total number of subscription and alerting tasks for a project cannot exceed 100. You can open a ticket to increase the limit if you need more subscription and alerting tasks for a project.
  • If a table displays data by page, Log Service sends only the snapshot of the first page to subscribers.
Note
  • You can select any time range in display mode to view the chart data of different time ranges. The chart data is not affected.
  • To modify the default query time range of charts on a dashboard, you can enter the edit mode and click Edit in each chart.
  • The query time range of a subscribed dashboard is the time range of queried data in charts on the dashboard.
