What dashboards are supported in Alert Center? - Simple Log Service

Alert Center supports the following dashboards: Global Alert Pipeline Center, Global Alert Rule Center, and Global Alert Troubleshooting Center. The preceding dashboards display information about alerts.

Background information

The first time you use the alerting feature of Simple Log Service, you are prompted to select a region. After you select a region, Simple Log Service automatically creates a project named sls-alert-Alibaba Cloud account ID-Region ID and a Logstore named internal-alert-center-log in the region to store alert logs.

Note

You are not charged when you use the internal-alert-center-log Logstore. By default, indexes are created for the Logstore.

Simple Log Service generates built-in dashboards based on the internal-alert-center-log Logstore. The built-in dashboards display information about alerts, such as the details of triggered alerts and alert notifications.

You can execute the __topic__: system_config statement in the internal-alert-center-log Logstore to query logs that are related to configuration errors. The following table describes the common errors.

Level	Type	Details	Description	Solution
error	AlertPolicyNotConfigured	Alert xxx has no alert policy configured	No alert policy is configured for the alert rule and alerts cannot be merged based on routes. Therefore, Simple Log Service ignores the related alerts.	Modify the alert rule and configure a valid alert policy.
	AlertPolicyNotExist	alert policy xxx does not exist	The alert policy that is associated with the alert rule does not exist. Therefore, Simple Log Service ignores the related alerts.	Create an alert policy with the same name or specify another alert policy.
	AlertPolicyInvalid	alert policy xxx format is error	The format of the alert policy is invalid and related alerts cannot be parsed. Therefore, Simple Log Service ignores the related alerts.	Modify the alert policy, or delete the alert policy and create an alert policy with the same name.
	GroupPolicyEmpty	Group policy of alert policy xxx is empty	The route consolidation policy of the alert policy is not configured. Therefore, Simple Log Service ignores the related alerts.	Configure the route consolidation policy of the alert policy and make sure that the route consolidation policy is not empty.
	ActionPolicyNotExist	action policy xxx does not exist	The action policy does not exist. Therefore, Simple Log Service does not send alert notifications for the alerts that use the action policy.	Create an action policy or specify another action policy.
	ActionPolicyInvalid	action policy xxx is invalid	The format of the action policy is invalid. Therefore, Simple Log Service does not send alert notifications for the alerts that use the action policy.	Modify the action policy, or delete the action policy and create an action policy with the same name.
	ActionPolicyEmpty	Primary(Secondary) policy for action policy xxx is empty	The primary and secondary action policies of the action policy are empty. Therefore, Simple Log Service does not send alert notifications for the alerts that use the action policy.	Modify the action policy and make sure that the primary and secondary action policies are not empty.
warn	AlertPolicyInheritanceLoop	alert policy xxx has inheritance loop with yyy	An inheritance loop exists. For example, Alert Policy A inherits Alert Policy B and Alert Policy B inherits Alert Policy A. If you associate Alert Policy A, Alert Policy B is executed, and then Alert Policy A is executed. If you associate Alert Policy B, Alert Policy A is executed, and then Alert Policy B is executed. The inheritance loop is not parsed.	Modify the alert policy to prevent inheritance loops.
	UserNotExist	user xxx does not exist	The specified user does not exist. Therefore, Simple Log Service does not send alert notifications to the user.	Create a user or configure the action policy to specify another user.
	UserGroupNotExist	group xxx does not exist	The specified user group does not exist. Therefore, Simple Log Service does not send alert notifications to the user group.	Create a user group or configure the action policy to specify another user group.
	UserGroupEmpty	group xxx is empty	The specified user group does not contain users. Therefore, Simple Log Service does not send alert notifications to the user group.	Add users to the user group.
	OncallGroupNotExist	oncall group xxx does not exist	The specified on-duty group does not exist. Therefore, Simple Log Service does not send alert notifications to the on-duty group.	Create an on-duty group or configure the action policy to specify another on-duty group.
	ContentTemplateNotExist	content template xxx does not exist	The specified alert template does not exist. Therefore, Simple Log Service ignores the notification methods that use the alert template.	Create an alert template or configure the action policy to specify another alert template.
	CalendarNotExist	calendar xxx does not exist	The specified calendar does not exist. Therefore, Simple Log Service ignores the on-duty group that uses the calendar.	Create a calendar or configure the on-duty group to specify another calendar.
	ChannelQuotaNotExist	channel quota does not exist	The quota for the specified notification method does not exist. Therefore, the number of alert notifications that can be sent by using the notification method is unlimited.	Configure a quota for the specified notification method.
	ChannelQuotaInvalid	channel quota format is invalid	The quota for the specified notification method is left empty. Therefore, the number of alert notifications that can be sent by using the notification method is unlimited.	Change the quota for the notification method and make sure that the quota is not empty.
