Set up Application Monitoring

With Environment Alerts, Engine Yard keeps an eye on your instance, records the alerts, and (optionally) emails you.

Note: Email alerts are disabled by default.

The following steps will help you set up monitoring for your account:

• Enabling alerts for your environment
• Viewing alerts in your environment
• Changing the email address

To enable alerts

1. In Engine Yard Cloud, go to your Dashboard.
2. Select an environment by clicking the environment name.
3. On the Environment page, enter your email address in the Send important server alerts to email field.
4. Click on Send Email Alerts.

Follow the above steps for each environment that you want to monitor. For example, you might not need to receive alerts for your staging environment, but you want alerts for your production environment.

To view alerts

Note: You can view the alerts, even if you have not enabled email alerts.

1. In Engine Yard Cloud, go to your Dashboard.
2. Select an environment by clicking the environment name.
3. On the Environment page, click View past alerts.

To change the email address

1. In Engine Yard Cloud, go to your Dashboard.
2. Select an environment by clicking the environment name.
3. Click on Disable Email Alerts.
4. Specify the new email address to receive alerts in the Send important server alerts to email field.
5. Click on Send Email Alerts.
