CloudMonitor:Write alert information to Simple Message Queue (formerly MNS)

Procedure

1. Authorize CloudMonitor to write alert information to SMQ.

   1. Go to the Cloud Resource Access Authorization page to allow CloudMonitor to assume the AliyunCloudMonitorDefaultRole role.

   2. Click Confirm Authorization Policy.

2. Call the PutResourceMetricRule operation to create an alert rule.

   For more information, see PutResourceMetricRule.

3. Call the PutMetricRuleTargets operation to create alert messages for the specified alert rule and write them to the specified SMQ queue.

   For more information, see PutMetricRuleTargets.

   The Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) of an SMQ queue is in the "acs:mns:{$RegionId}:{$UserId}:/queues/{$queueName}/messages" format.

   The following code shows an example of the PutMetricRuleTargets operation:

   RuleId:"putNewAlarm_group_778af9ba-a291-46ab-ac53-3983bcee****",
   Targets:[{
       Id: 1,
       Arn:"acs:mns:{$RegionId}:{$UserId}:/queues/{$queueName}/messages",
       Level: ["INFO", "WARN", "CRITICAL"],
   }]

Message body written to SMQ

CloudMonitor writes a message body to SMQ in the JSON format. The following code shows an example of a message body in the JSON format:
