Each of Aodh’s services are designed to scale horizontally. Additional workers and nodes can be added depending on the expected load. It provides daemons to evaluate and notify based on defined alarming rules.
The alarming component of Aodh, first delivered in Ceilometer service during Havana development cycle then split out to this independent project in Liberty development cycle, allows you to set alarms based on threshold evaluation for a collection of samples or a dedicate event. An alarm can be set on a single meter, or on a combination. For example, you may want to trigger an alarm when the memory consumption reaches 70% on a given instance if the instance has been up for more than 10 min. To setup an alarm, you will call Aodh’s API server specifying the alarm conditions and an action to take.
Of course, if you are not administrator of the cloud itself, you can only set alarms on meters for your own components.
There can be multiple form of actions, but only several actions have been implemented so far:
Alarm Combination Rule
Describe when to trigger the alarm based on combining the state of other alarms.
