Setting Event Alarms
When using a database, it is recommended that you set event alarms for database instances, so that you can be informed of the dynamics of Ops events and other events in a timely manner. After the event alarm setting is completed, if the system detects a corresponding abnormal event, it will send alarm notifications to recipients through multiple optional methods. This document introduces how to set event alarms.
Prerequisites
Through EventBridge of Tencent Cloud Observability Platform (TCOP), you can set event alarms. When you use EventBridge for the first time, you need to enable the EventBridge service.
Alarm-Supported Events
The currently supported event alarm metrics are as follows.
Event Chinese Name | Event English Name | Event Type | Subordinate Dimension | Whether Recovery Concept Exists | Event Description | Handling Method and Suggestions |
Primary-secondary switch | HASwitch | Abnormal event | TencentDB for SQL Server instance dimension | Yes | A switch occurs between the primary and secondary instances. | This event may be triggered by a physical server failure, causing service access disconnection and temporary unavailability. Pay attention to whether the business has an automatic reconnection mechanism to ensure rapid business recovery. |
Operation Steps
Note:
All event alarms generated by TencentDB for SQL Server will be shipped to the cloud service event set. The shipment is performed by default and cannot be changed or edited.
After the Tencent Cloud EventBridge service is enabled, a default cloud service event set will be automatically created in the Guangzhou region. Event alarms generated by TencentDB for SQL Server will be automatically shipped to this event set.
