Monitoring and logging can ensure the availability of your ActionTrail resources and the normal operation and health status of your services. You can use monitoring services to collect metric data. Alibaba Cloud provides various monitoring and audit-related services, such as CloudMonitor, to help you monitor the system events of ActionTrail in real time and notify you when abnormal events occur.
CloudMonitor Basic
ActionTrail is integrated with CloudMonitor Basic. You can use ActionTrail free of charge. CloudMonitor Basic allows you to monitor the trail status and event delivery status in real time. You can create subscription policies for system events and configure custom alert notifications. To create a subscription policy for system events, perform the following steps:
Log on to the CloudMonitor console.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose .
On the Subscription Policy tab, click Create Subscription Policy.
On the Create Subscription Policy page, configure the parameters:
Basic information: Enter a name for the subscription policy.
Alert Subscription: Set Subscription Type to System events. In the Subscription Scope section, set Products to ActionTrail, Event Type to Trail, and Event name to Trail:Delivery:OSS:Fail, Trail:Delivery:SLS:Fail, Trail:Removed, and Trail:Stopped. Do not configure Event Level, Application grouping, Event Content, or Event Resources. This way, the system events of ActionTrail for all application groups within the account are subscribed to.
