Route alarm notifications from HUAWEI CLOUD Cloud Eye to Alibaba Cloud EventBridge to centralize multi-cloud monitoring alerts in a single event bus.
How it works
HUAWEI CLOUD Cloud Eye is the basic monitoring platform for HUAWEI CLOUD services. Cloud Eye uses HUAWEI CLOUD Simple Message Notification (SMN) to deliver alarm notifications. EventBridge receives these notifications through an HTTP webhook endpoint.
Cloud Eye alarm triggers --> SMN topic publishes HTTP notification --> EventBridge HTTP event source receives the eventThe setup requires three configuration steps across two platforms:
EventBridge -- Create an HTTP event source that provides a webhook URL.
HUAWEI CLOUD SMN -- Create a topic and subscription that forwards notifications to the webhook URL.
HUAWEI CLOUD Cloud Eye -- Create an alarm rule linked to the SMN topic.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure that you have:
Step 1: Create an HTTP event source in EventBridge
Create an HTTP event source to generate a webhook URL that receives alarm notifications from HUAWEI CLOUD.
Log on to the EventBridge console.
Create a custom event source with the following settings. For detailed steps, see Create a custom event source of the HTTP/HTTPS Events type.
Parameter Value Request Type HTTP&HTTPS Request Method POST Security Configuration No Configuration Required After the event source is created, find it in the event source list and click Details.
Copy the Internet request URL. You need this webhook URL when you configure the SMN subscription in the next step.
Step 2: Configure HUAWEI CLOUD SMN and Cloud Eye
On the HUAWEI CLOUD side, create an SMN topic, subscribe the EventBridge webhook to it, and create a Cloud Eye alarm rule that publishes to the topic.
Create an SMN topic
Log on to the HUAWEI CLOUD SMN console.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Topic Management > Topics.
In the upper-right corner, click Create Topic.
Set the parameters as needed and click OK.
Subscribe the EventBridge webhook to the topic
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Topic Management > Subscriptions.
In the upper-right corner, click Add Subscription.
Configure the following settings and click OK.
Parameter Value Topic Name The topic created in the previous step Protocol HTTP or HTTPS Endpoint The Internet request URL copied from Step 1
Create a Cloud Eye alarm rule
Log on to the HUAWEI CLOUD Cloud Eye console.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Alarm Management > Alarm Rules.
In the upper-right corner, click Create Alarm Rule.
Configure the alarm rule parameters as needed.
Turn on Alarm Notification and set Notification Object to the SMN topic created earlier.
Click Create.
Step 3: Verify the integration
Send a test message to confirm that events flow from HUAWEI CLOUD to EventBridge.
Trigger a test event
Log on to the HUAWEI CLOUD SMN console.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Topic Management > Topics.
Find the topic and click Publish Message in the Operation column. Publishing a message simulates the notification that SMN sends when a Cloud Eye alarm triggers.
Confirm event delivery
Log on to the EventBridge console.
In the top navigation bar, select the region where you created the event bus.
In the left-side navigation pane, click Event Buses.
In the left-side navigation pane, click Event Tracking to view the received event.
If the event appears in the tracking list, the integration is working correctly.
