ApsaraDB RDS:Subscribe to event notifications by using CloudMonitor

Last Updated:Mar 04, 2024

ApsaraDB RDS supports the alerting feature provided by CloudMonitor. You can configure alert rules for important system events of ApsaraDB RDS in the CloudMonitor console. After you configure alert rules, CloudMonitor can send alert notifications by using emails and DingTalk chatbots. This helps you learn the dynamic changes of events at the earliest opportunity. ApsaraDB RDS can push events to Message Service (MNS), Function Compute, Simple Log Service, or a specified callback URL. This allows you to automate the anomaly handling process based on your business requirements.

Background information

CloudMonitor is a service that monitors Internet applications and Alibaba Cloud resources. You can configure CloudMonitor to notify you of system anomalies. Then, you can automate the anomaly handling process based on alert notifications. CloudMonitor supports the following alert notification methods:

  • Sends alert notifications to you by using emails, text messages, or DingTalk chatbots.

  • Push events to MNS, Function Compute, Simple Log Service, or the specified callback URL. This allows you to automate the anomaly handling process based on your business requirements.

Step 1: Create an alert rule

  1. Create an alert contact or alert contact group

    CloudMonitor sends alerts to alert contacts in alert contact groups. Before you add an alert contact to an alert contact group, you must create the alert contact or alert contact group.

  2. Create an event-triggered alert rule. For more information, see Manage system event-triggered alert rules.

Step 2: Test the alert rule

After an alert rule is created, you can test the alert rule. You can check whether alert notifications can be received or whether event alerts can be pushed to MNS, Function Compute, Log Service, or the specified callback URL.
