Handling Container Alarms

Constraints

Servers that are not protected by HSS do not support operations related to alarms and events.

Procedure

This section describes how you should handle alarms to enhance server security.

Do not fully rely on alarm handling to defend against attacks, because not every issue can be detected in a timely manner. You are advised to take more measures to prevent threats, such as checking for and fixing vulnerabilities and unsafe settings.

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click in the upper left corner of the page, select a region, and choose Security > HSS. The HSS page is displayed.
3. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Detection > Alarms, and click Container Alarms.
