This topic describes the scenarios of the AliyunServiceRoleForApiGatewayMonitoring service-linked role and how to delete the role.

Background information

The AliyunServiceRoleForApiGatewayMonitoring service-linked role is a RAM role that is provided to facilitate you to apply the same alert settings to all API operations in an API group.

Scenarios

API Gateway assumes the AliyunServiceRoleForApiGatewayMonitoring service-linked role to gain access to your CloudMonitor resources. After the mapping between an API group and an application group in CloudMonitor is established, the API operations in the API group automatically become instances in the mapping application group in CloudMonitor. This way, you can manage the alert settings for multiple API operations in the same API group at a time.
