CloudMonitor Event Center

Note

Only the system events of backup jobs for the following data sources can be reported to CloudMonitor Event Center: File Storage NAS (NAS) files, Object Storage Service (OSS) objects, Tablestore tables, and Elastic Compute Service (ECS) files.

CloudMonitor Event Center allows you to monitor the following system events of backup jobs: a backup job is canceled, a backup job is completed, a backup job expires, a backup job fails, and a backup job is partially completed. The system events help you obtain full knowledge of the status of backup jobs.image

Configure alert settings for data backup

You can create alert contacts to receive alert notifications, and then configure an alert notification method for the Cloud Backup client or a specific backup vault. If a backup job fails or the Cloud Backup client is disconnected from the server, an alert email is sent to your Alibaba Cloud account by default. You can specify alert contacts, alert contact groups, and alert notification methods. For more information, see Configure an alert rule for ECS file backup.
