Direct Connect

Monitoring and alerts

Configuring event monitoring

You can configure event alarm rules for Direct Connect on the Cloud Monitor platform to promptly monitor key events occurring on your connections. After configuring alarm rules, whenever an event matching the rule occurs, personnel in the contact groups will receive alert notifications promptly. This facilitates quickly pinpointing the affected Direct Connect resource and ensures business stability.

For an introduction to specific event metrics of Direct Connect, see Direct Connect event metrics.

Create an event rule

Instructions

A maximum of 1,000 event rules can be saved under a single account.

Events that have occurred on the Cloud Monitor platform are saved for 30 days by default. If you cannot find Direct Connect event information via the Event Center, it indicates either that no events have occurred for Direct Connect or that the events occurred more than 30 days ago.

Prerequisites

You have created alarm contacts and groups on the Cloud Monitor platform. For specific procedure, see Creating an alarm contact and group.

Procedure

In the left navigation pane, select Event Center > Event rule.

On the Event Rules page, click Create event rule.

On the Create Event Rule page, configure the event rules for Direct Connect.
