Introduction to Alibaba Monitoring System
summary
Alibaba maps hundreds of KPIs into a business CMDB called Hammurabi CMDB and monitors five canonical signals — total count, success count, success rate, response time, failure count — the five golden elements to detect customer impact. Intelligent time‑series baselining and anomaly detection raise alarm precision from 20% to 80%. Operations run a three‑site GOC, use DC‑level failover in ~2 minutes to protect customers while RCA can take an hour, and plan automated dashboarding, RCA and remediation.
