Configuring Yandex Monium alerts for Yandex Cloud Backup resources
An alert is a sequence of named queries calculated once a minute. The resulting query value is compared to the preset threshold values. If a threshold is reached, Monium changes the alert status to Alarm or Warning and notifies the user via a notification channel.
You can configure an alert for any of the Yandex Cloud Backup metrics. We recommend creating alerts for the following events:
- A new Cloud Backup agent version is out.
- Cloud Backup agent unavailable.
- Backup operation failed.
Note
If a metric has never come to Monium before, the system will not be able to suggest this metric in the pop-up menu of the query builder. In which case enter your query in code mode in the query language.
