Type

Description

metric_alarms

Array of objects

Specifies the list of alarm objects.

For details, see Table 2.

**Table 2** **metric_alarms** data structure description
Parameter	Type	Description
alarm_name	String	Specifies the alarm rule name.
alarm_description	String	Provides supplementary information about the alarm rule.
metric	Object	Specifies the alarm metric. For details, see Table 3.
condition	Object	Specifies the alarm triggering condition. For details, see Table 7.
alarm_enabled	Boolean	Specifies whether to enable the alarm rule.
alarm_level	Integer	Specifies the alarm severity, which can be 1, 2 (default), 3 or 4, indicating critical, major, minor, and informational, respectively.
alarm_action_enabled	Boolean	Specifies whether to enable the action to be triggered by an alarm.
alarm_actions	Array of objects	Specifies the action to be triggered by an alarm. For details, see Table 5.
ok_actions	Array of objects	Specifies the action to be triggered after the alarm is cleared. For details, see Table 6.
alarm_id	String	Specifies the alarm rule ID.
update_time	Long	Specifies when the alarm status changed. The time is a UNIX timestamp and the unit is ms.
alarm_state	String	Specifies the alarm status, which can be ok: The alarm status is normal. alarm: An alarm is generated. insufficient_data: The required data is insufficient.

**Table 3** **metric** data structure description
Parameter	Type	Description
namespace	String	Query the namespace of a service. For details, see Services Interconnected with Cloud Eye.
dimensions	Array of objects	Specifies the list of metric dimensions. For details, see Table 4.
metric_name	String	Specifies the metric ID. For example, if the monitoring metric of an ECS is CPU usage, metric_name is cpu_util. For details, see Services Interconnected with Cloud Eye.

**Table 4** **dimensions** data structure description
Parameter	Type	Description
name	String	Specifies the dimension. For example, the ECS dimension is instance_id. For details about the dimension of each service, see the key column in Services Interconnected with Cloud Eye.
value	String	Specifies the dimension value, for example, an ECS ID. Enter 1 to 256 characters.

**Table 5** **alarm_actions** data structure description
Parameter	Type	Description
type	String	Specifies the alarm notification type. notification: indicates that a notification will be sent. autoscaling: indicates that a scaling action will be triggered.
notificationList	Array of strings	Specifies the list of objects to be notified if the alarm status changes. NOTE: The IDs in the list are strings.

**Table 6** **ok_actions** data structure description
Parameter	Type	Description
type	String	Specifies the notification type when an alarm is triggered. notification: indicates that a notification will be sent. autoscaling: indicates that a scaling action will be triggered.
notificationList	Array of strings	Specifies the list of objects to be notified if the alarm status changes. NOTE: The IDs in the list are strings.

**Table 7** **condition** data structure description
Parameter	Type	Description
period	Integer	Specifies the interval (seconds) for checking whether the configured alarm rules are met.
filter	String	Specifies the data rollup method. The following methods are supported: average: Cloud Eye calculates the average value of metric data within a rollup period. max: Cloud Eye calculates the maximum value of metric data within a rollup period. min: Cloud Eye calculates the minimum value of metric data within a rollup period. sum: Cloud Eye calculates the sum of metric data within a rollup period. variance: Cloud Eye calculates the variance value of metric data within a rollup period.
comparison_operator	String	Specifies the alarm threshold operator, which can be >, =, <, ≥, or ≤.
value	Double	Specifies the alarm threshold. Supported range: 0 to Number. MAX_VALUE (1.7976931348623157e+108) For detailed thresholds, see the value range of each metric in the appendix. For example, you can set ECS cpu_util in Services Interconnected with Cloud Eye to 80.
unit	String	Specifies the data unit. Enter up to 32 characters.
count	Integer	Specifies the number of consecutive occurrence times that the alarm policy was met. Supported range: 1 to 5
