Set alerts for Tablestore backup

更新时间: 2026-05-12 03:35:27

By default, if a Tablestore backup fails, Cloud Backup sends an alert notification by SMS message or email to the Alibaba Cloud account. To notify a RAM user, create a custom alert rule to specify an alert contact or alert contact group. This topic describes how to set up custom alerts.

Note

If a backup fails, Cloud Backup sends a notification to the specified alert contact or alert contact group.

Step 1: Set alert contacts

An alert contact is the recipient of backup alerts. Follow these steps to set one:

  1. Log on to the Cloud Backup console.

  2. In the navigation pane on the left, click Notification Contacts.

  3. On the Alert Contacts tab, click Create Contact.

  4. In the Create Contact panel, enter the Contact Name and other required information.

  5. Select a Notification Methods, complete the required configuration, and then click OK.

    • Email

      If you select Email as the contact method, enter the Email and click Send. Log on to your email account to retrieve the verification code, and then return to the Cloud Backup console to enter the Verification Code.

    • Text Message

      If you select Mobile as the contact method, enter the Mobile and click Send. The system sends a text message with a verification code to your phone. Enter the Verification Code that you receive.

    Note
    • On the Alert Contact page, you can view information for all alert contacts.

    • Click Edit to modify a contact's email address and mobile phone number.

    • Contacts that are assigned to an alert rule or added to a contact group cannot be deleted.

Step 2: (Optional) Set a contact group

If you want multiple people to receive alert notifications, you can create a contact group to simplify management. After you add alert contacts to the group, a notification is sent to all members of the group when an alert is triggered.

  1. Log on to the Cloud Backup console.

  2. In the left navigation pane, select Notification Contacts.

  3. On the Groups tab, click Create Group.

  4. In the Create Group panel, enter a Group Name.

  5. Select the contacts to add to the group and click the rightwards arrow button. The selected contacts will then appear in the Selected Contacts box.

  6. Click OK.

    Note
    • The Alert Contact Group page displays all contact groups and the number of members in each group.

    • To edit a contact group, click Edit.

    • Contact groups that are assigned to an alert rule cannot be deleted.

Step 3: Configure a custom alert rule

Important

By default, Cloud Backup sends alert notifications by SMS message or email to the Alibaba Cloud account. After a custom alert rule is configured, it overrides the default alert method for Tablestore backups.

You can configure a custom alert rule in one of the following ways:

Backup vault

An alert rule for a backup vault applies to all Tablestore instances within that vault. An instance inherits these settings unless you configure a specific rule for it. Follow these steps:

  1. Log on to the Cloud Backup console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Storage Vaults.

  3. Find the backup vault that you want to configure. In the Actions column, choose More > Alert Settings.

  4. In the Alert Notification Method panel, select the required Alert Notification Method, and click OK.
