Threshold configuration for AWS Gateway Load Balancer

Configure thresholds for your AWS Gateway Load Balancer metrics so that you can receive notifications when thresholds are breached.

To learn more about how you can add users and customize alert settings, visit our User and Alert Management page.

In this doc, we'll cover:

• Configuring thresholds for Gateway Load Balancer metrics
• Configuring thresholds for Gateway Load Balancer metrics at the Target Group level
• Configuring thresholds for Gateway Load Balancer metrics at the Availability Zone level

Create a new threshold profile for Gateway Load Balancer

To create a new threshold profile for your Gateway Load Balancer node:

1. Log in to your Site24x7 account and go to Admin > Configuration Profiles > Threshold and Availability.
2. Click Add Threshold Profile in the Threshold and Availability screen.
3. Select Gateway Load Balancer from the Monitor Type drop-down and provide an appropriate label in the Display Name field for identification purposes.
4. For parameters like Service Endpoint Disconnected, Notify for Endpoint Deletion, Notify for Endpoint Failed, and Notify for Endpoint Rejected, you can toggle to Yes if you want to receive alerts for these events.
   
   

   Suppress alert when there are no registered targets (instances/IPs) in the Target Group : When you set this option to Yes, it suppresses alerts for target groups with no attached targets. This helps you to prevent unnecessary alerts when there are no targets in a target group, with the anticipation that targets will be attached in the future.
5. Performance counters supported for the Gateway Load Balancer will be shown under the Threshold Configuration section. You can configure values, set up alert conditions, and determine alert strategies at the individual attribute level. By default, only two attributes will be shown. You can select more by clicking on the Select Attributes option. When a metric value violates the determined threshold, an alert will be triggered.
