Alert templates

Enabling a preset alert template

Alert templates can be preset for the monitoring items of various cloud services. Preset alert templates include basic information, resources, and alert rules, but do not include notification methods. Preset alert templates can be applied with a few clicks, which streamlines processes.

Prerequisites

An alert contact and contact group have been created. For details, see Creating alert contacts and Creating contact groups.

An alert callback URL is created. For details, see Creating callback URLs.

Procedure

In the left navigation bar, click Alert Center > Alert Template.

Click the Preset alert template tab.

On the Preset alert template page, in the Enable column, switch on the toggle to enable the preset alert template.

On the Configure contact group page, configure the alert channel and then click Confirm.

Parameter	Descriptions
Notification method	Select an alert configuration method. You can select Manually select or Notification policy.
Notify policy	If you select Notification policy for Notification method, select a specific notification policy.
Alert channel	If you set Notification method to Manually select, select one or more notification channels. Available options include Email, Phone, SMS, Alert callback, and Orchestration. For the limits on receiving notifications by phone number or SMS message, refer to Limit.
Alert contact group	If you select one or more of the following options for Alert channel: Email, Phone, or SMS, the Alert contact group parameter will be displayed on the page. At least one contact group must be specified as the recipient of alert notifications. Up to five contact groups can be specified as the recipients of alert notifications.
Webhook	If you set the Alert channel parameter to Alert callback, the Alert callback text box will be displayed on the page. You must specify a public URL as the webhook URL. If a resource subsequently triggers an alert policy, the system will send the alert details to this URL via a POST request, enabling you to perform in-depth data analysis. You can select created webhook URLs. Up to eight webhook URLs can be selected. You can enter only one webhook URL. We recommend that you prepare a server with the HTTP service enabled and accessible via the public network, and then specify the HTTP URL of the server as the callback URL. For more information about alert webhook URLs, refer to Alert webhook usage. Alert webhooks can be associated with robots in Feishu, DingTalk, and WeCom groups to automatically push alert notifications. For specific operations, refer to Receiving alert notifications by Feishu group, Receiving alert notifications by DingTalk group, and Receiving alert notifications by WeChat group.

After configuration is complete, click Apply.
