Alert management

Event alerts for core resources

VKE supports integrating exception events in VKE cluster core resources with Cloud Monitor. You can configure event alert rules based on these events to receive notifications immediately after an exception occurs in a cluster. This shortens troubleshooting and recovery time. This topic provides an example on how to configure Feishu event alerts to help you promptly detect and respond to cluster exception events.

Background

After a cluster is created, VKE automatically integrates exception events of core cluster resources (such as clusters, node pools, nodes, and add-ons) with Cloud Monitor. As a result, cluster events can be continuously reported without additional configuration and you can query and handle them in the Event Center of the Cloud Monitor console. Based on these integrated events, you can also configure event alert rules to receive notifications immediately after an exception occurs in a cluster, proactively identifying key issues that affect cluster stability, security, and availability. This shortens troubleshooting and recovery time, ensuring high availability and continuity of your business. This is applicable to scenarios such as cluster O&M and monitoring, troubleshooting, and alert response. For supported exception types for core cluster resources, see Event overview.

Prerequisites

A cluster has been created and is in the Running state. For details, see Creating managed clusters.

Procedure

Cloud Monitor supports various alert notification methods. This topic provides an example on how to configure Feishu alert notifications for VKE cluster events.

Step 1: Configure a Feishu bot

tip

Feishu alert bots may vary based on different organizations. This topic uses a custom bot as an example. If you do not know the alert bot name in your organization, contact your Feishu administrator.

Use your Feishu account to log in to Feishu and create or find the group that needs to receive alerts. Click ... in the upper‑right corner of the group and click Settings from the drop‑down menu.

In the pop-up panel, click Bots and click Add bot.

In the bot list, click Custom Bot and click Add.

Configure the information about the bot.

Specify the name and description of the bot.

View and configure the information about the bot.

Copy the Webhook URL of the bot. This address will be used in subsequent configuration.

Select Set signature verification and copy the Key. This key will be used in subsequent configuration.

Click Finish to add the bot.

Step 2: Create a callback URL

In the left navigation pane, click Notification > Notification Policy.

Click the Notification object tab and select Callback. Click Create Callback and configure the callback URL that corresponds to the Feishu bot.

Click connectivity testing to verify whether the current callback URL is connected as expected. When the callback URL is connected, the Feishu bot will receive the corresponding notification.

Step 3: Create a notification policy

In the left navigation pane, click Notification > Notification Policy.

Click the Notification policy tab and click Create notification policy to configure the details about the policy.

For the Notification method parameter, select Lark swarm robot.

For the Webhook parameter, select the created callback URL.

Specify other parameters and then click Confirm to complete the configuration.

tip

For more information about the parameters of notification policies, see Creating notification policies.

Step 4: Create an event rule

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

On the Event rule page, click Create event rule. Then, configure the rule details.

For the Resource type parameter, select VKE.

For the Event name parameter, select the event that requires an alert. In this example, All is selected.

For the Severity level parameter, select the level for the corresponding event.

For the Notification policy parameter, select the created notification policy.

Click Confirm to finish.

tip

For more information about the parameters of the event rule, see Creating event rules.

Validate results

After you have completed alert-related configuration, when an alert that matches the defined rules is triggered, a notification will be sent to Feishu through the specified Feishu bot. You will receive the alert notification details in the group.

In the left navigation pane of the Cloud Monitor console, click Alarm Center > Alarm History to view the generated log alerts.
