Creating an Alarm

Overview

You can create alarms to trigger alarms and send relevant messages when the status of cloud services changes. The created alarm determines whether to trigger relevant notifications based on the situation of the monitored indicators relative to the given threshold at intervals.
Each alarm policy is a collection of a series of alarm trigger conditions. The alarm trigger conditions are in an "or" relationship, that is, if one condition is met, an alarm will be triggered. When an alarm is triggered, it will be sent to all persons associated with the alarm policy. After receiving the alarm, you need to check it in time and take corresponding measures. Creating alarms reasonably can help you improve the robustness and reliability of your application. For more alarm information, see Creating an Alarm Policy.
