Alarms across the cloud

Abiquo 4.4 enables users to create alarms on metrics across the cloud. In particular, users can select the following objects from the cloud or infrastructure lists in order to create alarms on their metrics:

• Infrastructure
  • Datacenters
    • Racks
      • Physical machines
        • VMs
• Cloud virtual resources
  
  • Virtual datacenters
    • Virtual appliances
      • Scaling groups
      • VMs

You can use built-in or custom metrics to create alarms for VMs and scaling groups. For all other entities, you can create alarms on custom metrics.  

Scaling group metrics

In Abiquo 4.4, scaling group metrics are now separate from VM metrics. The platform still configures the same metrics used in the base VM for the scaling group, but the platform stores them with the scaling group. 

Alarm tabs

There are two new alarms tabs to replace the VM Alarms tab. Both of these tabs have expanding lists where you can select entities.

Virtual datacenters → Alarms

Infrastructure → Alarms

Create an alarm

To create an alarm, select an entity from the list and click + to create an alarm, then complete the dialog.
