An alarm message is a message sent the time when an alarm is triggered.

You can view the statistical graphs and details of alarm messages on the Cloud. You can also view third-party alarm messages on the Extended Alarm Message page.

A current task is an ongoing operation performed in the Cloud. You can perform centralized management over ongoing operations.

The current task page includes two tabs: Cloud Operation Task and Auto-Scheduling Task.

Cloud Operation Task

On the main menu of ZStack Cloud, choose Platform O&M > Message Log > Event Center > Current Task. Then, the Cloud Operation Task page is displayed.

This page displays the ongoing operations performed in the Cloud. You can view the task information such as the operation description, task progress, and the time when the task was created. You can also cancel an ongoing task.

• The progress bar displays the task progress in real time. You can click the x button to cancel the ongoing task.
  Note: Currently, only some tasks cannot be canceled. For example, you can cancel a ongoing migration task.
• You can search for ongoing tasks by operation description.
• You can adjust the number of ongoing tasks displayed on each page. Optional values: 10, 20, 50, and 100.

Auto-Scheduling Task

On the main menu of ZStack Cloud, choose Platform O&M > Message Log > Event Center > Current Task. Then, the Current Task page is displayed. Click Auto-Scheduling Task. Then, the Auto-Scheduling Task tab is displayed.

The auto-scheduling task tab displays the ongoing backup jobs on the Cloud, including backup jobs triggered by backup policies, backups executed manually, and backups created from VM/volume page. You can view the task information such as the description, operated resource, task progress, and creation time.

• The progress bar displays the task progress in real time. You can click the Cancel Task button to cancel the ongoing task.
• You can search for ongoing tasks by operated resource.

An operation log is a chronological record of operations on the specified objects and their operation results.

The Operation Log page includes two tab pages: Cloud Operation Logs and Auto-Scheduling Logs. ZStack Cloud supports centralized log management and log analytics with the artificial intelligence technology. You can implement fine-grained operation tracking and troubleshooting by viewing the operation logs together with audits to improve your O&M efficiency.

Cloud Operation Logs

On the main menu of ZStack Cloud, choose Platform O&M > Message Log > Event Center > Operation Log. Then, the Operation Log page is displayed. Click on Cloud Operation Logs. Then, the Cloud Operation Logs page is displayed.

This page displays the historic operations performed in the Cloud. You can view the log information such as the operation description, operated resources, resource count, task result, operator, client IP, task creation time, task completion time, and task details.

• You can select a time span to view the historic operations . Available time spans: 3 days, 7 days, and 1 month. By default, logs generated in recent 3 days are displayed.
• You can customize a time span to view the operation logs in the specified time span.
• You can search for operation logs by Operation Description, Client IP, or Operation Description + Client IP. The combined search criteria helps you find the logs more efficiently and precisely.
• You can filter operations by task result and operator. The task result include succeeded, failed, canceled, canceling, exception, timeout, paused, and unknown.
• You can sort the operations by creation time.
• You can export the operation logs in CSV format.
• You can adjust the number of operation logs displayed on each page. Optional values: 10, 20, 50, and 100.
• You can see the details of the APIs that are called when performing operations on the Cloud by checking the operation details page or using API Inspector.

Note:

• If your requests are forwarded to ZStack Cloud through a load balancer, correctly configure an X-Forwarded-For parameter for the load balancer. Without this parameter, the Cloud is unable to acquire your actual client IP and displays the load balancer IP here.
• By default, the cloud operation logs are retained for 90 days. You can customize the retention period as needed. Method:

  In Global Settings, set the value of Operation Log Retention Period.

• Too many operation logs might affect the performance of the management node. We recommend that you shorten the retention period if necessary to reduce the management node load.

Auto-Scheduling Logs

On the main menu of ZStack Cloud, choose Platform O&M > Message Log > Event Center > Operation Log. Then, the Operation Log page is displayed. Click on Auto-Scheduling Logs. Then, the Auto-Scheduling Logs page is displayed.

This page displays the VM auto-scheduling logs triggered by the management node, such as VM recovery from HA and host maintenance. You can view the log information such as the log type, task description, trigger reason, task result, VM name, VM owner, and the host information.

• You can select a time span to view the auto-scheduling logs . Available time spans: 3 days, 7 days, and 1 month. By default, logs generated in recent 7 days are displayed.
• You can customize a time span to view the auto-scheduling logs in the specified time span.
• You can search for auto-scheduling logs by VM name, VM owner, Pre Host, and Destination Host.
• You can filter auto-scheduling logs by task result. The task result include succeeded and failed.
• You can sort the auto-scheduling logs by creation time.
• You can export the auto-scheduling logs in CSV format.
• You can adjust the number of auto-scheduling logs displayed on each page. Optional values: 10, 20, 50, and 100.
• Click Task Description, you can enter the log details page to view more information.

Note: By default, the auto-scheduling logs are retained for 90 days. You can customize the retention period as needed. Method:

In Global Settings, set the value of Retention Period of Auto-Scheduling Logs.
