Masking an Alarm Rule

Cloud Eye can not only mask alarm notifications based on masking rules you configure, but also mask an alarm rule. This section describes how to mask an alarm rule.

Procedure

In the navigation pane, choose Alarm Management > Alarm Rules.
Select the alarm rule to be masked and choose More > Mask Alarm above the alarm rule list.
On the displayed page, set Alarm Masking Duration and click OK.
The differences between masking an alarm rule and disabling an alarm rule are as follows:
- After an alarm rule is disabled, Cloud Eye does not check whether its metrics reach the threshold or trigger an alarm.
- After an alarm rule is masked, alarm records are still generated but you cannot receive alarm notifications.
Check the masking status of the alarm rule.
On the Alarm Rules page, the masking status of the alarm rule changes to Applied.
