Data Transmission Service:Configure monitoring and alerting

Last Updated:Jun 18, 2025

Data Transmission Service (DTS) provides the monitoring and alerting feature for data synchronization, data migration, and change tracking tasks. You can configure alert rules for important metrics in the DTS console to monitor the status of DTS tasks in a timely manner.

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.

Usage notes

  • Full synchronization timeout alerting is enabled by default. The default alert rule is to generate an alert when the full data synchronization task runs for more than 24 hours.

  • If you need to configure monitoring and alerting for DTS tasks in the CloudMonitor console, see Configure alert rules for DTS tasks in the CloudMonitor console.

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 through the CloudMonitor platform.

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

Configure monitoring and alerting for an existing 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. Use one of the following methods to go to the Data Synchronization page and select the region in which the data synchronization instance resides.

    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 of the page, select the region in which the data synchronization task resides.

    DMS console

    Note

    The actual operations may vary based on the mode and layout of the DMS console. For more information, 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 in which the data synchronization instance resides.

  2. In the Actions column of the data synchronization instance for which you want to configure monitoring and alerting, choose image.png > Alert Settings.

    Note

    You can also click the ID of the task to go to the task details page. On this page, click Alert Settings in the left-side navigation pane.

  3. On the Alert Settings page, configure alert rules for the monitoring metrics.

    Task type

    Metric

    Description

    Data synchronization

    • Synchronization Latency

    • Full Synchronization Timeout

    • Synchronization Status

    By default, Synchronization Latency and Synchronization Status are Disabled and Full Synchronization Timeout is Enabled.

    Data migration

    • Are you sure that you want to disable the alert on the latency of incremental data migration?

    • Full Synchronization Timeout

    • Migration Status

    By default, Are you sure that you want to disable the alert on the latency of incremental data migration? and Migration Status are Disabled and Full Synchronization Timeout is Enabled.

    Change tracking

    • Change Tracking Latency

    • Change Tracking Status

    By default, Change Tracking Latency and Change Tracking Status are Disabled.

    Data verification

    • Full data verification

      • Full Data Verification Status

      • Full Data Verification Inconsistency

    • Incremental data verification

      • Incremental Data Verification Status

      • Incremental Data Verification Latency

      • Incremental Data Verification Inconsistency

    The status of each metric depends on the verification alert settings you specified when you configure a data verification task. For more information, see Configure a data verification task.

    DTS Insight

    DTS Insight active diagnostic alarm

    The DTS Insight active diagnostic alarm metric is Enabled by default.

    Note

    If you want to disable alerting for a metric, click Edit in the Actions column of the metric. In the dialog box that appears, clear Enable for Status to disable alerting. You can also modify the alert rules for the metric based on your requirements.

    • Configure the alert rules for the Synchronization Latency metric.

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

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

      3. Configure the time threshold for triggering synchronization 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 through the CloudMonitor platform.

      4. Click OK.

    • Configure the alert rules for the Full Synchronization Timeout metric.

      1. Find the Full Synchronization Timeout metric and click Edit in the Actions column.

      2. Configure the time threshold for triggering full synchronization timeout 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 through the CloudMonitor platform.

      3. Click OK.

    • Configure the alert rules for the Synchronization Status metric.

      Note

      You can only enable or disable the Synchronization Status metric.

Modify monitoring and alerting settings

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.
