Manage Alerts

The DBaaS Admin Console allows you to create and manage alert rules to monitor the health and performance of your SynxDB Cloud deployment. This document explains how to view, create, modify, and delete alert rules.

Access the alerts page

  1. Log into the DBaaS Admin Console.

  2. Click Alerts in the left navigation menu to access the alerts page.

View existing alert rules

The alerts page displays a list of all configured alert rules. You can use the filters at the top of the page to search for rules by Name (supports fuzzy search), Alert Rule Type, or Created date.

The alert rule list provides the following details:

  • Name: The unique name of the alert rule.

  • Alert Type: The type of alert, such as Metrics.

  • Monitor Resource Type: The resource being monitored, for example, uninstore.

  • Alert Rule Type: The specific type of the rule, such as Metrics Alert.

  • Status: The current state of the rule, which can be Enabled or Disabled.

  • Created: The timestamp when the rule was created.

  • Modified Time: The timestamp of the last modification.

  • Operation: Actions that can be performed on the rule, including Modify, Clone, Delete, and a toggle to enable or disable the rule.

Create an alert rule

Before creating an alert rule, ensure that you have already configured a contact group to receive notifications. If not, navigate to Contact Groups from the left menu to create one first.

  1. On the alerts page, click Create Alert Rule.

  2. In the Create Alert Rule form, configure the following sections:

    • Basic Information: Set a unique name and an optional description for the rule.

    • Alert Rules: Define the trigger conditions. You can choose between a Metrics-based rule (triggered when a metric crosses a threshold) or an Event-based rule (triggered by a specific system event). Define the resource to monitor and the specific conditions for the alert.

    • Notification Settings: Configure how notifications are sent. Select a Contact Group, define the Effective Time for the rule, and set the Priority Level. For Metrics alerts, you can also set a Repeat Notification interval.

  3. Click Confirm to save the rule.

Modify an alert rule

  1. In the alert rule list, locate the rule you want to edit.

  2. Click Modify in the Operation column.

  3. Update the rule configuration as needed.

  4. Click Confirm to save the changes.

Clone an alert rule

Cloning allows you to quickly create a new rule based on an existing one.

  1. In the alert rule list, locate the rule you want to clone.

  2. Click Clone in the Operation column.

  3. A new rule form will open, pre-filled with the original rule’s configuration.

  4. Update the details as needed, ensuring you provide a new, unique Name.

  5. Click Confirm to create the new rule.

Enable or disable an alert rule

You can temporarily activate or deactivate a rule without deleting it. In the alert rule list, use the toggle switch under the Operation column to change the rule’s status.

Delete an alert rule

Warning

This action is irreversible.
