The event notification feature is used to send notifications of the diagnosis results in 24/7 Exception Diagnosis module via SMS, call, email, and Message Center. You can configure diagnosis items, notification events, notification channels, and recipients for a notification as needed.
Note:
Event notifications in DBbrain are essentially different from metric alarms in Cloud Monitor. DBbrain sends the diagnosis results generated in Exception Diagnosis, while Cloud Monitor sends alarm notifications when a monitored metric reaches the alarm threshold. If you need to receive notifications for metric monitoring, you can use the alarming system of Cloud Monitor.
If you have configured an event notification trigger policy in DBbrain, we recommend you disable the DBbrain smart alarm feature in Cloud Monitor > Alarm Policy to avoid receiving duplicate notifications from DBbrain and Cloud Monitor.
Currently, the event notification feature is only available to TencentDB for MySQL.
Creating an Event Notification Policy
1. Log in to the DBbrain console, select Monitoring and Alarming > Event Notification on the left sidebar, and click Create Policy.
2. On the event notification policy configuration page, select the database type and enter the policy name (which is required and unique).
3. Select a database instance to be associated with the policy.
4. In the pop-up dialog box, select a database instance to be associated with the policy.
You can either select an instance directly or enable “Dynamic association”. If you enable “Dynamic association”, all the instances that you have permission to select will be displayed, and the instance information will be dynamically updated when you select more or fewer instances.
5. Select either “Preset rule” or “Custom rule” as the method of configuring the event notification rule.
Preset rule: You can select one of the four rule levels (notification, alarm, severe, and critical), each containing its specific diagnosis event content that cannot be modified.
Custom rule: If you select this option, you can flexibly select diagnosis events and configure the diagnosis event levels and notification sending frequency as needed.
If you select “Custom rule”, DBbrain will provide recommended event notification rule content by default, based on which you can add or delete rule content. If you don’t need the recommended rule content, you can deselect Reference basic rules, after which all the rule content will be cleared.
6. Configure user notifications.
You can use the notification template you have configured or create one by selecting “Create template” as detailed in the example below.
7. Click Add notification.
8. In the pop-up dialog box, select the notification receiving period, receiving channels, and recipients, and click OK.
9. We recommend you save the user information and notification receiving channels configured this time as a template so that you can directly use the template next time. Otherwise, the system will consider these configurations as one-time configurations, and you cannot view the user information when viewing the policy details.
10. Click Save to complete the policy configuration.
