Write alerts to MNS

Procedure

1. Authorize CloudMonitor to write alerts to MNS.
   1. Click here to allow CloudMonitor to assume the AliyunCloudMonitorDefaultRole role.
   2. Click Confirm Authorization Policy.
2. Call the PutResourceMetricRule operation to create an alert rule.
   For more information, see PutResourceMetricRule.
3. Call the PutMetricRuleTargets operation to create alert messages for the alert rule and write them to the specified MNS queue.

   For more information, see PutMetricRuleTargets.

   The Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) of an MNS queue is in the format of "acs:mns:{$RegionId}:{$UserId}:/queues/{$queueName}/messages".

   The following code shows an example of the PutMetricRuleTargets operation:

   RuleId:"putNewAlarm_group_778af9ba-a291-46ab-ac53-3983bcee****",
   Targets:[{
       Id: 1,
       Arn:"acs:mns:{$RegionId}:{$UserId}:/queues/{$queueName}/messages",
       Level: ["INFO", "WARN", "CRITICAL"],
   }]

Message body written to MNS

CloudMonitor writes a message body to MNS in the JSON format. The following code shows an example of a message body in the JSON format:
