Data Transmission Service:Configure monitoring and alerts

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have:

• A DTS task, or have reached the Advanced Settings step when creating a DTS task. For details, see Overview of data synchronization scenarios, Overview of data migration scenarios, or Overview of change tracking scenarios

Alerting metrics

The following table lists the metrics available for each task type, their default states, and what each metric indicates.

For data verification metrics, the default state depends on the alert settings you specified when configuring the verification task. See Configure a data verification task.

Configure alerts when creating a DTS task

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

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

3. Complete the remaining DTS task configuration steps.

Configure alerts for an existing DTS task

The procedure is the same for all task types. The following steps use a data synchronization task as an example.

1. Go to the Data Synchronization page using one of the following methods.

   DTS console

   1. Log on to the DTS console.

   2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Data Synchronization.

   3. In the upper-left corner, select the region where the task resides.

   DMS console

   Note

   The actual steps may vary based on the mode and layout of the DMS console. See Simple mode and Customize the layout and style of the DMS console.

   1. Log on to the DMS console.

   2. In the top navigation bar, move the pointer over Data + AI and choose DTS (DTS) > Data Synchronization.

   3. From the drop-down list to the right of Data Synchronization Tasks, select the region where the task resides.

2. In the Actions column of the target task, choose  > Alert Settings.

   Alternatively, click the task ID to open the task details page, then click Alert Settings in the left-side navigation pane.

3. On the Alert Settings page, enable and configure alert rules for the metrics you want to monitor.

   • Configure Synchronization Latency alerts

     1. Find Synchronization Latency and click Edit in the Actions column.

     2. In the dialog box, select Enable for Status.

     3. Set the time threshold for triggering latency alerts.

        Note

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

     4. Click OK.

   • Configure Full Synchronization Timeout alerts

   • Configure Synchronization Status alerts

     Find Synchronization Status and click Edit in the Actions column. Select or clear Enable for Status, then click OK.

     For Synchronization Status and Migration Status, you can only enable or disable alerting. The alert threshold is not configurable.

Modify alert rules

1. Go to the Data Synchronization page using one of the methods described in Configure alerts for an existing DTS task.

2. In the Actions column of the target task, choose  > Alert Settings.

   Alternatively, click the task ID to open the task details page, then click Alert Settings in the left-side navigation pane.

3. Click Edit in the Actions column of the metric you want to modify.

4. In the dialog box, update the settings:

   • Disable alerting: Clear Enable for Status.

   • Change the time threshold: Update the value in the Alert Rules field.

     Note

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

   The threshold for Synchronization Status and Migration Status is not configurable.

5. Click OK.

Set up alert notifications

Alert rules in the DTS console determine when an alert fires. To receive notifications, configure an alert subscription in CloudMonitor.

See Configure alert rules for DTS tasks in the CloudMonitor console.
