To make sure your instances are running smoothly we’ve now added the ability to set alarms, based on CPU, Memory usage, and Disk space. These tools can, if enabled, address performance issues promptly and automatically. The alarm trigger when a part of your instance is overexposed, and you will, through notifications of your choice, be informed of your instance's setbacks.
The importance of using alarms for your instance
To further manage your instance, we’ve added the possibility to receive accurate alerts based on performance anomalies in your application. This feature gives you the opportunity to handle issues before it harms your instances performance. If a specific part of your instance is overexposed, an alarm is triggered, and you will get a notification. The next notification sent will be once the alarm has settled.
Due to the above statement, we strongly suggest that you enable the alarm function for your instances.
