Configure alerts to monitor data transformation tasks

Procedure

1. Log on to the Log Service console.
2. In the Projects section, click the target project.
3. In the left-side navigation pane, click . A list of dashboards appear.
4. Click the dashboard named Data Transformation Troubleshooting.
5. On the Data Transformation Troubleshooting page, filter jobs and configure alerts for metrics.
   For information about how to create an alert, see Configure an alert. For information about how to subscribe to the dashboard, see Subscribe to a dashboard.

Consumption delay

1. In the shard consumption delay chart, choose > Create Alert.
2. Configure an alert.
   For example, if you set Trigger Condition to [delay (s)] > 120, the alert is triggered if the data consumption delay is greater than 120 seconds. For information about other parameters, see Configure an alert.
3. Configure the notification method.
   In this example, select WebHook-DingTalk Bot. For more information about notification methods, see Configure the alert notification method.
4. View alert notifications in the specified DingTalk group.
   

Exception reporting

1. In the Exception detail chart, choose > Create Alert.
2. Configure an alert.
   For example, you can set Trigger Condition tolevel == 'ERROR'. For information about other parameters, see Configure an alert.
3. Configure the notification method.
   In this example, select WebHook-DingTalk Bot. For more information about notification methods, see Configure the alert notification method.
4. View alert notifications in the specified DingTalk group.
   

   Note In most cases, error logs are generated due to the invalid transformation script of a task. You can modify the transformation script. After you modify the script, the task is restarted. Then you can check whether new error logs are generated.

Transformation traffic (absolute value)

1. In the Transform speed chart, choose > Create Alert.
2. Configure an alert.
   For example, if you set Trigger Condition to accept < 40000, the alert is triggered if the number of log entries that are transformed every second is less than 40,000. For information about other parameters, see Configure an alert.
3. Configure the notification method.
   In this example, select WebHook-DingTalk Bot. For more information about notification methods, see Configure the alert notification method.
4. View alert notifications in the specified DingTalk group.
   

Transformation traffic (day-on-day comparison)

1. Customize monitoring metrics.
   1. Choose Log Management > Logstores. Click the Logstore named internal-etl-log.
   2. Enter the following query statement in the search box and then click Search & Analyze.
      This query statement calculates the ratio of the number of log entries that are written every 5 minutes on the current day to that of the day before.

      __topic__:  __etl-log-status__ AND __tag__:__schedule_type__:  Resident and event_id:  "shard_worker:metrics:checkpoint" | 
      select dt, today, yesterday, round((today - yesterday) * 100.0 / yesterday, 3) as inc_ration from
      (select dt, (case when diff[1] is null then 0 else diff[1] end) as today, (case when diff[2] is null then 0 else diff[2] end) as yesterday from 
      (select dt, compare("delivered lines", 86400) as diff from 
      (select date_format(__time__ - __time__ % 300, '%H:%i') as dt, sum("progress.delivered") as "delivered lines" from log group by dt order by dt asc limit 5000)
      group by dt order by dt asc limit 5000))

      Note You can modify the query statement to create a more fine-grained alert. For example, you can set an alert only for the task whose ID is 06f239b7362ad238e613abb3f7fe3c87.

      __topic__:  __etl-log-status__ AND __tag__:__schedule_type__:  Resident and event_id:  "shard_worker:metrics:checkpoint" and __tag__:__schedule_id__:  06f239b7362ad238e613abb3f7fe3c87 | 
      select dt, today, yesterday, round((today - yesterday) * 100.0 / yesterday, 3) as inc_ration from
      (select dt, (case when diff[1] is null then 0 else diff[1] end) as today, (case when diff[2] is null then 0 else diff[2] end) as yesterday from
      (select dt, compare("delivered lines", 86400) as diff from
      (select date_format(__time__ - __time__ % 300, '%H:%i') as dt, sum("progress.delivered") as "delivered lines" from log group by dt order by dt asc limit 5000)
      group by dt order by dt asc limit 5000))

   3. On the Graph tab, select the line chart and click Add to Dashboard. In this example, the query statement is saved as a chart on the dashboard named etl-monitor.
      
2. In the left-side navigation pane, click . A list of dashboards appear.
3. Click the dashboard named etl-monitor.
4. On the etl-monitor dashboard, find the target chart, and choose > Create Alert.
   
5. Configure an alert.
   For example, if you set Trigger Condition to inc_ration < (-40), the alert is triggered if the log transformation speed is 40% lower than that of the previous day. For information about other parameters, see Configure an alert.
6. Configure the notification method.
   In this example, select WebHook-DingTalk Bot. For more information about notification methods, see Configure the alert notification method.
7. View alert notifications in the specified DingTalk group.
   

Alert-related operations

You can delete, modify, or disable an alert on the Alert Overview page of the alert. For more information, see Manage an alert.
