Manage alert settings

OceanBase Migration Service (OMS) Community Edition allows you to configure the built-in monitoring metrics, alert thresholds, and alert frequency, and create, edit, and delete alert channels in the OMS Community Edition console.

Background information

OMS Community Edition alerts generated upon monitoring metrics such as the long-term synchronization channel status are sent to the customer environment by using OceanBase Cloud Platform (OCP). On the Alert Settings page, you can configure the thresholds of different protection levels for data migration and synchronization projects.

OMS Community Edition supports the following alert protection levels: No Protection, High Protection, Medium Protection, and Low Protection.

• No Protection: No alert is generated. This protection level is suitable for short-term migration or business scenarios with low real-time requirements.

• High Protection: This protection level is applicable to scenarios with extremely high requirements on latency.

  A high protection alert is triggered when:

  • The synchronization latency is greater than the specified threshold.

  • The interruption duration of a schema migration or full data synchronization task exceeds the specified threshold.

• Medium Protection: This protection level is applicable to scenarios with high requirements on latency. The threshold must be higher than or equal to the threshold configured for high protection.

• Low Protection: This protection level is applicable to scenarios with low requirements on latency. The threshold must be higher than or equal to that configured for medium protection.

The admin user can modify the alert threshold and alert frequency for each protection level. Regular users can mark the protection level for their own data synchronization tasks and view the alert threshold and alert frequency of each protection level.
