Event Monitor

Function overview

For various event anomalies during the operation of cloud products, such as service disruptions, component issues, and performance degradation, BCM provides real-time monitoring and notification based on alarm strategies. This enables users to promptly stay informed about the operational status of cloud products. Unlike standard monitoring metrics, event monitoring does not collect data periodically but instead captures data and triggers alarms only when events occur.

Supported cloud products

Currently support multiple products including Baidu Baremental Compute (BBC), Baidu Cloud Compute (BCC), dedicated gateway, physical dedicated line, MapReduce BMR, and Cloud Container Engine (CCE). For details, refer to: Cloud Product Event List.
