Last Updated:Jun 02, 2026

Application Management in CloudLens for EBS generates reports from your disk monitoring data and periodically delivers them by email or internal message. These reports help you comprehensively analyze disk monitoring information, plan resources, and optimize costs. This feature is designed for analyzing and governing monitoring data at scale.

Prerequisites

CloudLens for EBS is enabled. For instructions, see Enable CloudLens for EBS.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the EBS console.

    Note

    When you log on to the EBS console for the first time, follow the on-screen instructions to create an EBS service-linked role. For more information, see EBS service-linked role.

  2. In the left navigation bar, select EBS Lens > Applications.

  3. In the top navigation bar, select a region.

  4. On the Applications page, click Add Application.

    • By default, a default application is available. It applies to all disks in the current Alibaba Cloud account.

    • In addition to the default application, you can add up to five applications.

  5. In the Add Application dialog box, configure the following parameters.

    • Application Name: Enter a name for the application.

    • Resource Filter Tag: Select one or more tags that are associated with your disks or snapshots. For example, if you select Tag A and Tag B, Application Management generates reports for disks that have either Tag A or Tag B.

      Note

      If you select multiple tags, the system analyzes resources (disks or snapshots) that have any one of the selected tags.

    • Generation Cycle: You can choose to send the monitoring data report Every Week, Every Two Weeks, or Every Month.
