FPT Cloud Guard

FPT Cloud Guard – Alert is a service that automatically monitors the operational status of resources on FPT Cloud (Cloud Server, Load Balancer, Autoscaling, Object Storage, Kubernetes, Database, and more). It lets you configure alerts triggered when resource usage exceeds defined thresholds, and supports multi-channel notifications via Email, Webhook, Telegram, Slack, SMS, Call, and Microsoft Teams.

With FPT Cloud Guard, you can proactively monitor your FPT Cloud resources without dedicated operations staff, keeping costs minimal.

Before you create an alert​

  • Metrics and thresholds: Each resource type has different technical parameters. Determine which metrics to monitor and what threshold values indicate abnormal behavior.
  • Notification method: Choose an alert delivery method that suits your organization so the responsible person receives notifications and can respond quickly.
  • Alert scenarios: Define different alert scenarios for specific cases — for example, how long to alert after a threshold is exceeded, or how many recipients to notify.
