How Do I Distinguish Between Alarms and Events?

Similarities Between Alarms and Events

For Application Performance Management (APM), both alarms and events refer to the information reported to APM when its status changes.

Differences Between Alarms and Events

  • Alarms are reported when APM is abnormal or may cause errors. You need to handle alarms. Otherwise, service exceptions may occur.
  • Events carry some important information, informing you of the changes of APM itself. Such changes do not necessarily cause exceptions. You do not need to handle events.
