Create application monitoring alert rules and process alert notifications

Step 1: Check whether the application is connected to ARMS

Perform the following steps to check whether the user-service application is connected to ARMS.

1. Log on to the EDAS console.
2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Applications. On the Applications page, click the name of the user-service application.
   1. In the left-side navigation pane, click Application Overview.

      On the Application Overview page, check whether metric data exists on the Application Overview page.

   If metric data exists on the Application Overview page, the application is connected to ARMS. If no metric data exists on the Application Overview page, the application has not been connected to ARMS. In this case, reconnect the application to ARMS.

   Note The sample application is a Java application in an ACK cluster. If your application is of another type, the display of the Application Overview page after the application is connected to ARMS may be different from that shown in the preceding figure. Provided that metric data exists on the Application Overview page, the application is connected to ARMS.

Step 2: Go to the Create Application Monitoring Alert Rule page

1. Log on to the EDAS console.
2. In the top navigation bar of the MNS console, select the region where your cluster is deployed.
3. On the Applications page, select EDAS Kubernetes Cluster or Container Service or Serverless Kubernetes Cluster from the Cluster Type drop-down list. Then, click the name of the user-service application.
4. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Alert Management > Alert Rules.
5. On the Application Monitoring Alert Rule page, click Create Application Monitoring Alert Rule in the upper-right corner.
6. On the Create Application Monitoring Alert Rule page, set the Alert application parameter to user-service and the Indicator Type parameter to Invocation_Type.

Step 3: Create alert rules

In this example, create the following two alert rules to send alert notifications to contacts by using text messages, emails, and DingTalk chatbots when the alert rules are triggered:

• Alert rule for excessively long response time of API calls for the services that are provided by the user-service application

  The response time of API calls for the services that are provided by the user-service application in the last 3 minutes is greater than or equal to 500 ms. 

• Alert rule for the decrease in the success rate of API calls for the services that are provided by the user-service application

  The error rate of API calls for the services that are provided by the user-service application in the last 3 minutes is less than or equal to 90%. 

1. On the Create Application Monitoring Alert Rule page, enter an alert rule name and specify a trigger condition.
   Create the alert rule for excessively long response time of API calls for the services that are provided by the user-service application.
2. Set a notification policy.
   • If you have created a notification policy, select an existing notification policy from the Notification policy drop-down list.
   • If you have not created a notification policy, perform Step 3 to create a notification policy. After you create the notification policy, click the Refresh icon next to the Notification policy drop-down list and select the created notification policy from the Notification policy drop-down list on the Create Application Monitoring Alert Rule page.
3. Optional:Click Create a notification policy to the right of the Notification policy drop-down list.
   In the Create a notification policy panel, set the parameters, including the contact parameter, and click OK.

   • If you have created a contact, select an existing contact from the contact drop-down list.
   • If you have not created a contact, perform Step 4 to create a contact. After you create the contact, refresh the page and select the created contact from the contact drop-down list in the Create a notification policy panel.
4. Optional:Click New contact next to the contact drop-down list.
   On the Contact page, create a contact, a contact group, and a DingTalk group.
   1. On the Contact tab, click Create a contact in the upper-right corner.
   2. In the Create a contact dialog box, set the parameters and click OK.
   3. On the Contact Group tab, click Create a contact group in the upper-right corner.
   4. In the Create a contact group dialog box, enter a group name, add the created contact to the contact group, and then click OK.
      After you create the contact group, you can view the created contact group on the Contact Group tab.
   5. On the DingTalk Group tab, click New DingTalk Group in the upper-right corner.
   6. In the New DingTalk Group dialog box, set the parameters and click OK.
      After you create the DingTalk group, you can view the created DingTalk group on the DingTalk Group tab.
5. After you create the alert rule, click Save.
6. Repeat the preceding steps to create the alert rule for the decrease in the success rate of API calls for the services that are provided by the user-service application.
   After you create the alert rules, you can view the two created alert rules on the Application Monitoring Alert Rule page in the EDAS console.

View alert notifications

When the alert rules are triggered, the following alert notifications are received:

• Text message:
• Email:
• DingTalk group:

  After you receive alert notifications in a DingTalk group, you can process alerts in the DingTalk group. For more information, see Manage alerts in a DingTalk group.

Process alerts

After you receive alert notifications, you can view alert notification records and alert details such as the alert time in the alert management module in the EDAS console.

1. Log on to the EDAS console.
2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Alert Management > Alert sending History.
   On the Alarm page, you can view alert notification records and alert details such as the alert time. For more information, see View alert events.
