Ingest Security Center alerts into Log Service - Alerting| Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

Security Center is a security management system that dynamically identifies and analyzes security threats, and generates alerts when threats are detected. You can use Security Center to ensure the security of your cloud resources and local servers in a centralized manner and meet regulatory compliance requirements. You can configure the alert ingestion system of Log Service as a notification method in the Security Center console. This way, Security Center alerts can be ingested into Log Service. Then, the alerting system of Log Service denoises the alerts and sends alert notifications.

Prerequisites

An alert ingestion application is created. The Protocol parameter of the alert ingestion application is set to Security Center. For more information, see Configure webhook URLs for alert ingestion.
Security Center of the Enterprise edition is purchased. For more information, see Purchase Security Center.

Configure an alert notification method in the Security Center console

Log on to the Security Center console.
In the left-side navigation pane, click Settings.
In the DingTalk Chatbot Notification Settings section of the Notifications tab, click Add Chatbot.
In the Add DingTalk Chatbot panel, set the parameters and click Add.
Set the Webhook URL parameter to the full path of the Internet webhook URL that is generated after you create an alert ingestion application. For more information, see Obtain webhook URLs. For information about other parameters, see Add a DingTalk chatbot.
