Last Updated:Mar 12, 2026

This topic describes how to use Managed Service for Prometheus to monitor a Serverless App Engine (SAE) application.

Prerequisites

The SAE application to be monitored is running as expected.

Step 1: Integrate SAE monitoring

  1. Search for SAE in the Integration Center: You can log on to the Cloud Monitor console. You can select Integration Center in the navigation pane on the left. You can enter SAE in the search box and click Alibaba Cloud SAE Service.

Step 2: View SAE monitoring data

  1. Integration Management: Log on to the Cloud Monitor console. In the left navigation pane, click Integration Management. On the Integrated Components tab of the Integration Management page, select the target component. In the list of target environments, locate the environment by its Environment Name and click View Details in the Actions column.

  2. View dashboard names: On the Component Management tab, in the Component Type section, click SAE, and then click Dashboards to view the names of all dashboards.

  3. View a dashboard: Click the name of a target Dashboard to view the corresponding Grafana dashboard.

  4. Configure data collection (Optional): In the left navigation pane of the Grafana dashboard, click Explore. On the Explore page, select a metric and its corresponding tags. For more information about available metrics, see Step 1. Then, click Run query to view the metric data.

Step 3: Configure monitoring and alerting for SAE

Add alert rules as needed. For more information about how to create Prometheus alert rules, see Create a Prometheus alert rule.
