Cloud resource status directly affects the applications and businesses that depend on them. Full resource monitoring coverage is essential to business continuity. Configure alert rules for your cloud resources to ensure every resource is monitored. Any resource without an alert rule requires attention and governance.
Use one or more of the following methods to monitor and manage the resources in your account:
-
Initiative alerting
Use this method if you are unfamiliar with the metrics or alert thresholds of a cloud service.
After you enable initiative alerting, monitor the alerts and resource usage of the cloud service, and then refine alert rules or adjust thresholds based on actual usage.
Enable initiative alerting for a cloud service to apply preset alert rules to all its resources. For more information, see Enable proactive alerting.
-
Resource-specific alerting
Use this method if your resources are relatively stable, few in number, or vary significantly in usage scenarios and levels.
Configure specific alert rules for individual resources. For more information, see Create an alert rule.
-
Application group-based alerting
If you have many resources, the resource count changes frequently, or different sets of resources support different applications, use application groups for monitoring and management.
Create application groups and configure alert rules at the group level to achieve full resource monitoring coverage.
You can create an alert rule directly for an application group, or use an alert template to apply consistent rules across multiple groups:
-
Create a threshold-triggered alert rule for an application group.
For more information, see Create an application group and Create an alert rule.
-
Create an alert template and apply it to application groups.
For more information, see Create an application group and Create an alert template.
