This topic describes how to use the forwarding feature of the alert management module to forward alerts from one Alibaba Cloud account to another for unified management.
Background information
In ARMS, resources are isolated by Alibaba Cloud account. An Alibaba Cloud account can only view its own alerts, but cannot process the alerts of other Alibaba Cloud accounts. However, if the O&M department uses multiple Alibaba Cloud accounts, an O&M engineer must separately process alerts of different Alibaba Cloud accounts. This increases O&M costs.
The forwarding feature of the alert management module allows you to forward ARMS alerts from other Alibaba Cloud accounts to one Alibaba Cloud account for unified management.
In this example, the O&M department wants to forward the ARMS alert events of Accounts B and C to Account A for unified management.
The forwarding feature of the alert management module can only forward alert events generated by ARMS, but cannot forward alert events of other integrated alert sources.
Step 1: Create an integration
Account A creates an integration in the alert management and obtains the integration key.
- Log on to the ARMS console. In the left-side navigation pane, choose .
On the Alert Integrations tab of the Integrations page, click ARMS.
In the Create ARMS Integration dialog box, enter the integration name, description, and automatic recovery time of alert events, and then click Save.
NoteAutomatic recovery time of alert events: If alert events are not triggered within the specified time range, alert events will be automatically recovered.
After the configuration is complete, you can view the new ARMS integration on the Alert Integrations tab.
On the Alert Integrations tab, copy and save the endpoint of the ARMS integration.
Step 2: Forward alerts
Accounts B and C forward alerts generated in ARMS to the alert management module of Account A.
Log on to the ARMS console with Accounts B and C respectively.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose .
On the Alert Integrations tab, find the ARMS-DEFAULT integration and then click Forward Alert in the Actions column.
In the ARMS-DEFAULT Forwarding Alert dialog box, enter the integration endpoint of Account A and click OK.
NoteClick Forward Settings in the Actions column of the ARMS-DEFAULT integration. In the dialog box that appears, click Stop Forwarding. Then, you can stop forwarding ARMS alerts from Account B or C to Account A.
