Create a system event-triggered alert rule

Prerequisites: An application group is created and resources are added to the application group if you need to apply event-triggered alert rules to instances by application group. For more information, see Create an application group and Add resources to the application group.

1. Log on to the CloudMonitor console.

2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Event Center > System Event.

3. On the Event Monitoring tab, click Save as Alert Rule.

4. In the Create/Modify Event-triggered Alert Rule panel, configure the parameters of the system event-triggered alert rule.

   Table 1. Parameters of a system event-triggered alert rule

   Section	Parameter	Description
   Basic Info	Alert Rule Name	The name of the event-triggered alert rule.
   Event-triggered Alert Rules	Product Type	The Alibaba Cloud service to which the event-triggered alert rule is applied. For more information about the Alibaba Cloud services that are supported by CloudMonitor, see Appendix 2: System events.
   	Event Type	The type of the event that triggers alerts. For information about the types of events that are supported by each Alibaba Cloud service, see Appendix 2: System events.
   	Event Level	The severity level of the event that triggers alerts. For more information about the levels of the events that are supported by each Alibaba Cloud service, see Appendix 2: System events.
   	Event Name	The name of the event that triggers alerts. For more information about the names of the events that are supported by each Alibaba Cloud service, see Appendix 2: System events.
   	Keyword Filtering	The keywords that are used to filter the alert rule. Valid values: Contains any of the keywords: If the alert rule contains any one of the specified keywords, CloudMonitor sends an alert notification. Does not contain any of the keywords: If the alert rule does not contain any one of the specified keywords, CloudMonitor sends an alert notification. Note For more information about how to view the content of an event, see View system events.
   	SQL Filter	The SQL statement that is used to filter the alert rule. You can use the and and or operators. For example, if you set this parameter to Warn and i-hp368focau7dp0hw****, CloudMonitor sends alert notifications only when the event content contains the instance i-hp368focau7dp0hw**** and the alert level Warn.
   	Resource Range	The range of the resources to which the event-triggered alert rule is applied. Valid values: All Resources: The event-triggered alert rule is applied to all resources of the cloud service. Application Groups: The event-triggered alert rule is applied to the cloud services in the specified application group. In this case, you must select an application group.
   Notification Method Note Select at least one alert notification method.	Alert Notification	CloudMonitor directly sends notifications of event-triggered alerts to the specified alert contact group. You must configure the following parameters: Alert Contact Group: The alert contact group to which the notifications of event-triggered alerts are sent. Notification Method: The severity level of event-triggered alerts and the corresponding notification methods. Valid values: Critical (Email + Webhook) Warning (Email +Webhook) Info (Email +Webhook)
   	Message Service - Queue	The Message Service (MNS) queue to which event-triggered alerts are delivered.
   	Function Compute	The Function Compute function to which event-triggered alerts are delivered.
   	URL Callback	The callback URL that can be accessed over the Internet. CloudMonitor sends POST or GET requests to push alert notifications to the specified URL. You can enter only an HTTP URL. For more information about how to configure alert callbacks, see Configure callbacks for system event-triggered alerts (old). To test the connectivity of an alert callback URL, perform the following steps: Click Test next to the callback URL. In the Webhook Test panel, you can check and troubleshoot the connectivity of the alert callback URL based on the returned status code and test result details. Note To obtain the details of the test result, configure the Test Template Type and Language parameters and click Test. Click Close.
   	Log Service	The Simple Log Service Logstore to which event-triggered alerts are delivered.
   	Mute For	The interval at which CloudMonitor resends alert notifications before an alert is cleared. Valid values: 5 Minutes, 15 Minutes, 30 Minutes, 60 Minutes, 3 Hours, 6 Hours, 12 Hours, and 24 Hours. If a metric value reaches the threshold, CloudMonitor sends an alert notification. If the metric value reaches the threshold again within the mute period, CloudMonitor does not resend an alert notification. If the alert is not cleared after the mute period ends, CloudMonitor resends an alert notification. For example, if the Mute For parameter is set to 12 Hours and the alert is not cleared, CloudMonitor resends an alert notification after 12 hours.
