Manage Application Groups and Track Alerts - Cloud Monitor

Application groups centralize the monitoring, alerting, and management of related cloud resources. After opening a group, check its health status, review active alerts, track resource performance, and investigate events from a single page.

Procedure

Log on to the Cloud Monitor console.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Cloud Resource Monitoring > Application Groups.

On the Application Groups tab, click the name of the application group.

The Group Overview page displays the following sections:

Section	Description
Basic Information	General details about the application group
Associated Cloud Services	Cloud services linked to this group
Others	Quick status indicators for Availability Monitoring and Custom Monitoring

Note

The features available in the left-side navigation pane may vary depending on the type of application group.

Health and alerts

Use the left-side navigation pane to access health and alert features for the application group.

Feature	Description	Available actions
Fault List	All resources with active alerts. Each entry represents one metric on one resource that triggered an alert.	Identify unhealthy instances and investigate faults.
Alert Rules	All alert rules configured for the group.	View, enable, disable, or modify alert rules.
Alert History	A log of all alerts triggered based on alert rules.	Review past alerts.

Note

If multiple metrics on the same resource trigger alerts, the Fault List displays a separate entry for each metric. If an alert rule with active alerts is disabled, the corresponding entries are removed from the list.
