Configure Event Alerts

Last update:2026-07-10 16:38:03

Setting up event alerts allows you to track key operations within your account in real time. For example, you can create a rule that sends an immediate email notification whenever a sub-account deletes a domain.

This guide walks you through creating and managing event alerts to enhance your account security and operational compliance. Unlike metric-based alerts, event alerts focus on the actions themselves, such as Create Domain or Update Configuration.

1. Creating an Event Alert Rule

Steps

  1. Log in to the Cloud Monitor console.
  2. In the left-side navigation menu, select Event Monitor > Alert Rules.
  3. On the Alert Rule Management page, click Add Alert Rule.
  4. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the configuration as described below.

Configuration Parameters

Section Item Description
Basic Info Rule Name Set a unique name for your alert rule. This name is used as the subject of the alert notification for easier identification.
Alert Rule Product and Service Select the product or service associated with the events you want to monitor.
Specified Resources (Optional) Further narrow the monitoring scope, for example, by specifying a particular domain or instance.
Trigger Rule Define how multiple events trigger an alert. You can set a Monitor Frequency (for example, check every 60 minutes) and choose between:
Any: The alert is triggered if any one of the selected events occurs during the monitoring period.
All: The alert is triggered only if all of the selected events occur during the monitoring period.
Event Select one or more specific events to monitor, such as Create Domain or Delete Domain. A single rule can monitor up to 10 events at the same time.
Alert Frequency Set how often notifications are sent after a trigger condition is met.
Monitor Account Define the source account for the actions to be monitored:
Main Account and All Sub Accounts
Current Account
Specify Sub Account
Notification Method Notification Methods Choose the notification channels, including Email and Robot (Webhook).
Contact Select the Contacts, or use + Add Contact Group to receive the alert. You can also choose to notify your dedicated technical and sales support representatives.

Complete the Creation

After completing all configurations, click OK. The event alert rule takes effect immediately.

2. Managing Existing Event Alert Rules

You can perform the following management operations on existing event alert rules:

  1. Return to Event Monitor > Alert Rules.
  2. Find the rule you want to manage in the list and perform one of the following actions:
    • Edit: Click Edit to modify the rule parameters.
    • Disable/Enable: Click Disable if you temporarily do not need the rule. You can click Enable later to reactivate it.
    • Delete: Click Delete to permanently remove a rule. You can also select multiple rules for Batch Delete.
    • Alert Logs: Click Alert Logs to view all alert records triggered by this rule. This is useful for auditing historical actions and troubleshooting issues.
