(3) Application availability ratio

This report contains a curve chart and a report of 4XX errors, 5XX errors, and timeout errors.

4. Monitoring and warning

Application stability problems usually occur on the application server, including:

• (1) The server breaks down.
• (2) The web server stops providing services.
• (3) The machine is heavily loaded.
• (4) The network is faulty in the equipment room.
• …

If the preceding problems occur, the relevant application cannot be accessed properly, which will seriously affect user experience. To resolve such problems, the simplest solution is to enable the AliExpress open platform (which is developed based on the TOP) to monitor the system status on the application server. In this manner, the TOP is able to detect stability problems on the server in a timely manner and report alarms to the developer, facilitating further response, maintenance, and processing.

The TOP provides the configuration of the following four alarms:

• (1) Application success rate
• (2) API traffic
• (3) Application availability ratio
• (4) Application response time

If the value of any alarm type exceeds the specified threshold, the TOP will report an alarm based on the alarming mode preconfigured by the developer.
