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

Prerequisites

A DTS task is configured, 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

The procedure of configuring monitoring and alerting for an existing DTS task is similar to that for a new task. In this section, an existing data synchronization task is used as an example.

  1. In the Advanced Settings step, select Yes as Set Alerts.
  2. In the Set Alert Rule section, set the duration threshold for triggering failure alerts or latency alerts. Then, enter the mobile number of the alert contact.

    Note To add multiple alert contacts, click Add Contact and enter mobile numbers. You can enter up to five mobile numbers.
  3. Refer to the related topics to complete the configuration of the DTS task.

Configure monitoring and alerting for an existing DTS task

The procedure of configuring monitoring and alerting for an existing DTS task is similar to that for a new task. In this section, an existing data synchronization task is used as an example.

  1. Go to the Data Synchronization Tasks page.
    1. Log on to the Data Management (DMS) console.
    2. In the top navigation bar, click DTS.
    3. In the left-side navigation pane, choose DTS (DTS) > Data Synchronization.
    Note
  2. From the drop-down list to the right of Data Synchronization Tasks, select the region in which the data synchronization instance resides.
    Note If you use the new DTS console, you must select the region in which the data synchronization instance resides in the top navigation bar.
  3. On the Data Synchronization page, find the data synchronization task that you want to manage, click the ... icon in the Actions column, and then select Monitor Task. Monitoring and alerting
  4. On the Monitor Task page, configure alert rules for the metrics of the task.
    Task typeMetricDescription
    Data synchronization
    • Synchronization Latency
    • Full Synchronization Timeout
    • Synchronization Status
    By default, the Synchronization Latency and Synchronization Status metrics are in the Disabled state, and the Full Synchronization Timeout metric is in the Enabled state.
    Data migration
    • Latency of Incremental Migration
    • Full Synchronization Timeout
    • Migration Status
    By default, the Latency of Incremental Migration and Migration Status metrics are in the Disabled state, and the Full Synchronization Timeout metric is in the Enabled state.
    Change tracking
    • Change Tracking Latency
    • Change Tracking Status
    By default, both the Change Tracking Latency and Change Tracking Status metrics are in the Disabled state.
    Note If a metric is enabled, you can click Disable or Edit in the Actions column to disable the metric or modify the alert rule for the metric.
    • Configure the alert rule for the Synchronization Latency metric.
      1. Find the Synchronization Latency metric and click Enable in the Actions column.
      2. In the message that appears, click OK.
      3. Find the Synchronization Latency metric and click Edit in the Actions column.
      4. Set the duration threshold for triggering latency alerts and enter the mobile number of the alert contact. Alert rule for the Synchronization Latency metric
        Note To add multiple alert contacts, click Add Contact and enter mobile numbers. You can enter up to five mobile numbers.
      5. Click OK.
    • Configure the alert rule for the Full Synchronization Timeout metric.
      1. Find the Full Synchronization Timeout metric and click Edit in the Actions column.
      2. Set the duration threshold for triggering full synchronization timeout alerts and enter the mobile number of the alert contact. Alert rule for the Full Synchronization Timeout metric
        Note To add multiple alert contacts, click Add Contact and enter mobile numbers. You can enter up to five mobile numbers.
      3. Click OK.
    • Configure the alert rule for the Synchronization Status metric.
      Note The alert rule for the Synchronization Status metric is set to Synchronization Status = Error and cannot be modified.
      1. Find the Synchronization Status metric and click Enable in the Actions column.
      2. In the message that appears, click OK.
      3. Find the Synchronization Status metric and click Edit in the Actions column.
      4. Enter the mobile number of the alert contact. Alert rule for the Synchronization Status metric
