RDS for MySQL

Monitoring and alerts

Viewing an event

RDS for MySQL supports viewing the monitoring information of MySQL instances in the event center of Cloud Monitor. This topic describes the procedure for viewing RDS for MySQL events in the Cloud Monitor event center.

Background

The Cloud Monitor event center provides fault monitoring for cloud products. When an event occurs for a cloud product, information such as the event time, event source, event name, and event details are saved to the event center. By viewing cloud product events, you can identify and resolve problems in a timely manner. For the RDS for MySQL events monitored in the Cloud Monitor event center, refer to Appendix: MySQL events supported for viewing in the Cloud Monitor event center.

Precautions

Events are saved for 30 days by default.

Procedure

Log on to the Cloud Monitor console.

In the left navigation bar, select Event center>Cloud product events.

On the Cloud Service Event page, select RDS for MySQL from the cloud service drop-down list.

You can filter events by specifying a time range and event type.

By default, events from the last hour are displayed.

The specified time range is accurate to the minute, with the seconds value defaulting to 00.

In the Actions column for a specific event, click Details to view its details. The information is displayed in JSON format.
