Alarm Description

You can create alarms for instance metrics that you are interested in, so that when the running status of the CLB instance reaches a certain condition, alarm information can be sent to the user groups that are interested in it in a timely manner. This ensures that you can detect exceptional conditions in a timely manner and take appropriate measures to maintain the stability and reliability of the system. For details, see Alarm Overview.
The CLB alarm policies include the following types:

  • Public network listener
  • Private network listener
  • Server port
  • Server port dimension

Public Network Monitor/Private Network Listener

Currently, both public network CLB and private network CLB support alarms at the listener dimension. The specific metrics are as follows:

Metrics Unit Note
Inbound Bandwidth bps The bandwidth used by clients to access the CLB function through the public network during the statistical period.
Outbound Bandwidth bps The bandwidth used by CLB to access the public network during the statistical period.
Number of packages per second The number of request data packets received by the private CLB per second during the statistical period.
Number of outgoing packets per second The number of data packets sent by the CLB per second during the statistical period.

Server port

CLB supports alarms at the server port dimension:

You can configure an abnormal alarm for a port of a backend CVM bound to a listener, and send an alarm as long as the port is exceptional.

Trigger condition configuration:

Note:

The backend server port exception means: the CLB detects that the port of the backend server is unavailable. A few network jitters can also trigger port exceptions.
