Monitoring and alerting

The monitoring and alerting feature of MaxCompute allows you to perform the following operations:

• Use CloudMonitor to configure metrics. This way, you can monitor subscription resources and real-time job consumption.

  Note

  You can log on to the MaxCompute console, view the number of alerts for each metric in the Alert and Risk Warnings section of the Overview page.

  • View monitoring charts on a dashboard to learn about the changes of metrics in real time. For more information, see Configure a dashboard.

  • Configure custom alert rules and add alert contacts. If the value of a metric reaches or exceeds the specified alert threshold, CloudMonitor automatically sends alert notifications to the specified contact. Alert notifications can be sent by using phone calls, text messages, emails, or DingTalk chatbot. For more information, see Configure alert rules.

• Use the MaxCompute client to monitor resource consumption of an SQL statement. For more information about how to monitor the resource consumption of SQL statements, see Configure an upper limit for the resources that are consumed by an SQL statement.

1. Log on to the CloudMonitor console.

2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Dashboard > Custom Dashboard.

3. On the Custom Dashboards page, click Create Dashboard. On the page that appears, click Add Chart in the upper-right corner.

   Note

   For more information about how to add a monitoring chart, see Manage the monitoring charts of a custom dashboard.

You can configure an alert rule to trigger alerts for a metric of a resource group. This way, if the CPU utilization or memory usage of CUs in a quota group of MaxCompute_ subscription exceeds the specified threshold, an alert is triggered. For example, you configured 150 CUs for the resource group that you want to monitor, the full CPU utilization of a CU is 100%, and the maximum CPU utilization of all CUs is 15000%. You can configure the following alert rule: An alert is triggered if the CPU utilization of CUs exceeds the specified threshold 12000%. If you receive the alert, the resource group is about to be fully utilized. Jobs may be queued if you continue to submit jobs. You can upgrade the configurations of resource groups or plan jobs based on your business requirements. To configure alert rules in this scenario, perform the following steps:

1. Log on to the CloudMonitor console.

2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Alerts > Alert Rules.

3. On the Alert Rules page, click Create Alert Rule.

4. In the Create Alert Rule panel, configure alert rule parameters for this scenario. For more information about the parameters, see Create an alert rule. For more information about how to configure an alert contact, see Create an alert contact or alert contact group.

   The following table describes the key parameters that you must configure for an alert rule in the preceding scenario.

   Parameter	Description

   Parameter	Description
   Product	Select MaxCompute_ subscription from the Product drop-down list.
   Resource Range	Select Instances.
   Associated Resources	Region: Select the region in which the MaxCompute project resides from the Region drop-down list in the upper-left corner of the pane that appears. QuotaGroup: Select the quota group that you want to monitor from the quota group list. For more information about quota groups, see Quota management (new).
   Add Rule	Rule Name: the name of the alert rule. Metric Type: Select Single Metric. Metric: Select Subscription quota cpu usage from the drop-down list. Note You can also select QuotaGroupJobWaitQueue from the Rule Description drop-down list. If the CPU utilization is high and a large number of jobs are queued for N consecutive periods, manual intervention may be required.

5. Click Confirm.
