IoT Platform imposes limits on the frequency of connection requests, the frequency of upstream and downstream communication, and the frequency of message forwarding. If the limits are reached, throttling is triggered. This may affect the daily operations of your business. This topic describes how to use the monitoring and alerting features of CloudMonitor to configure alert rules. After you configure alert rules, you can receive alert notifications when specific resources become abnormal and handle issues at the earliest opportunity.
