   Table 1 Parameter description

   Parameter	Description
   Name	Name of an alarm rule. The system randomly generates a name and you can modify it.
   Description	Description about the rule.
   Alarm Type	By default, Event is selected. For details about how to configure metric monitoring for EIPs, see Creating an Alarm Rule and Notifications.
   Event Type	Options include System event and Custom event. Select System event.
   Event Source	Service the event is generated for. Choose Elastic IP.
   Monitoring Scope	Monitoring scope the alarm rule applies to. All resources: An alarm will be triggered anytime a resource, including resources that will be purchased, in this dimension meets the alarm rule. Specific resources: Click Select Specific Resources and select the resources to be monitored.
   Method	Associate template: If you associate with a template, any modification made to the template will also be synchronized to the policies of the alarm rule associated with the template. For details about how to create a template, see Creating a Custom Template. Configure manually: You can set a custom rule for monitored objects.
   Alarm Policy	You are advised to select EIP blocked, EIP unblocked, Start Anti-DDoS traffic scrubbing, and Stop Anti-DDoS traffic scrubbing. When the traffic is greater than 10,000 kbit/s, the system sends an alarm notification when scrubbing starts and when scrubbing ends. When the traffic is less than 10,000 kbit/s, no alarm notification is sent.
   Notification Recipient	Select an option as needed. Notification policies: You can set up different notification scopes in a notification policy to alert specific owners by alarm severity or at a specified schedule. For details about how to create a notification policy, see Creating a Notification Policy. Contact groups: To send alarm notifications to a fixed group of recipients, create a notification group and add the recipients to it. For details, see Creating a Recipient and Notification Group. Topic subscriptions: Choose this if the current region does not support alarm notifications or the recipients have been configured in SMN. You can select a cloud account contact or a topic created in SMN.

5. Click Create. If a success message is displayed, the alarm rule has been created.
