Set event notifications

To ensure the stable running of your business in ECS and achieve automated O&M, we recommend that you set event notifications to monitor changes in the underlying environments. This topic describes how to subscribe to event notifications in the CloudMonitor console.

1. Log on to the CloudMonitor console.
2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Event Monitoring.
3. On the Event Monitoring page that appears, click the Alarm Rules tab and then click Create Event Alert.
4. On the Create / Modify Event Alert page, set event notifications.
   • Configure event filtering rules as follows:
     • Set Event Type to System Event.
     • Set Product Type to ECS.
     • Set Event Level as required. Valid values: CRITICAL, WARN, and INFO.
     • Set Event Name. You can select multiple values from the drop-down list.
       Note We recommend that you do not select All Events. You are advised to create different levels of event alerts based on the extent different events affect your business.
     • Set Resource Range. If All Resources is selected, event notifications are sent when the specified events occur on any resource.
   • Configure event notification pushing as follows:
     • Set the notification method. When an event occurs, a corresponding event notification is pushed by using SMS, email, TradeManager, or DingTalk chatbot.
       Note INFO level events occur frequently. Therefore, we recommend that you do not set notifications for INFO events or else you will receive a large number of notifications.
     • Set the message processing middleware. To automate event processing, you can configure Message Queue, Function Compute, GET or POST URL callback, and Log Service.
