Resource Monitoring and Alarm Overview

Monitoring helps you fully understand the usage of cloud desktop resources, while alarms report issues based on monitoring metrics, allowing you to identify and resolve problems promptly to ensure smooth business operations. This article explains how to use the monitoring and alarm features.

Configure Alarm Contacts​

Contacts are the recipients of alarm notifications.

Create an Alarm Contact​

  1. Log in to the PigCloud Cloud Desktop console.
  2. In the left navigation bar, select Monitoring > Alarm Rules.
  3. Click the Alarm Contacts tab.
  4. Click Create Alarm Contact, configure the following information in the Create Alarm Contact panel, and click OK.
    1. Name: The contact's name.
    2. Email: The email address for receiving alarm notifications.
    3. Alarm Group: The alarm group to which the contact belongs.

Follow-up Actions​

  • Edit or delete a contact: In the Contacts tab, click Edit or Delete in the corresponding Actions column. You can also select multiple contacts for batch deletion.

Configure Alarm Groups​

Alarm groups are collections of contacts. When configuring alarm rules, you must bind an alarm group, not individual contacts. The system generates a default alarm group. Enterprise users can create custom alarm groups.

Create an Alarm Group​

  1. In the left navigation bar, select Monitoring > Alarm Rules.
  2. Click the Alarm Groups tab.
  3. Click Create Alarm Group, configure the following information in the Create Alarm Group panel, and click OK.
    1. Alarm Group Name: The name of the alarm group.
    2. Remarks (Optional): A description or other notes about the alarm group.

Follow-up Actions​

  • Add or remove contacts: In the Alarm Groups tab, click View/Add Alarm Contacts in the corresponding Actions column, and add or remove contacts as needed.
  • Delete an alarm group: In the Alarm Groups tab, click Delete in the corresponding Actions column. If the group contains contacts, they will only be removed from the group, not deleted.

Configure Alarm Rules​

Alarm rules define which data metrics trigger alarms under specific conditions, as well as the alarm severity and effective time.

Create an Alarm Rule​

Each alarm rule must be bound to an alarm group. Ensure you have created an alarm group before creating an alarm rule.

  1. In the left navigation bar, select Monitoring > Alarm Rules.
  2. Click the Alarm Rules tab.
  3. Click Create Alarm Rule, configure the following information in the Create Alarm Rule panel, and click OK.
