ApsaraDB RDS supports the alerting feature provided by CloudMonitor. You can configure alert rules for important system events of ApsaraDB RDS in the CloudMonitor console. After you configure alert rules, CloudMonitor can send alert notifications by using emails and DingTalk chatbots. This helps you learn the dynamic changes of events at the earliest opportunity. ApsaraDB RDS can push events to Simple Message Queue (formerly MNS), Function Compute, Simple Log Service, or a specified callback URL. This allows you to automate the anomaly handling process based on your business requirements.
