Labels

string

The tags. Tags are used to filter services.

Tags are returned in the following format: [{"name":"Tag key","value":"Tag value"}, {"name":"Tag key","value":"Tag value"}]. The following tags are commonly used:

  • alertUnit: the unit of the metric value in alerts. If the unit is small, the original metric value may be too large. In this case, you can use the alertUnit tag to specify an appropriate unit. This tag is used in CloudMonitor.

  • minAlertPeriod: the minimum time interval to report a new alert. The interval at which monitoring data is reported. The value is usually 1 minute.

  • metricCategory: the service specification. Example: kvstore_sharding. Some Alibaba Cloud services have multiple specifications that are defined in the same namespace. This parameter is used to identify the specifications.

  • is_alarm: indicates whether an alert rule can be configured. We recommend that you do not use the special tags in the CloudMonitor console.
