Elasticsearch:Enable the initiative alert feature

Last Updated:Oct 20, 2023

The initiative alert feature of Elasticsearch (ES) is provided by CloudMonitor. This feature is disabled by default. After this feature is enabled, alert rules are created to detect errors, such as abnormal cluster status, high disk usage (greater than 75%), and high JVM heap memory usage (greater than 85%). These rules apply to all Elasticsearch clusters within your Alibaba Cloud account. This topic describes how to enable the initiative alert feature.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the Alibaba Cloud Elasticsearch console.
  2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Elasticsearch Clusters.
  3. On the Elasticsearch Clusters page, click Initiative Alert.

  4. In the Initiative Alert message, click Enable Now.

  5. On the Initiative Alert page of the CloudMonitor console, turn on the Initiative Alert switch for Elasticsearch.
