Data Transmission Service:Configure monitoring and alerting

Prerequisites

A DTS task is created, or you have navigated to the Advanced Settings step when you create a DTS task. For more information, see Overview of data synchronization scenarios, Overview of data migration scenarios, or Overview of change tracking scenarios.

Configure monitoring and alerting when you create a DTS task

You can configure monitoring and alerting for different types of existing DTS tasks in similar procedures. In this example, an existing data synchronization task is used.

1. In the Advanced Settings step, set Monitoring and Alerting to Yes.

2. In the Set Alert Rule section, set the time threshold for triggering failure alerts or latency alerts

   .
   Important

   If you want to receive alert notifications, you must configure an alert subscription in the CloudMonitor console. For more information, see

   Configure alert rules for DTS tasks in the CloudMonitor console.

3. Refer to the related topics to complete the configurations of the DTS task.
