  • Orchestration only applies to the alarms triggered by Prometheus and log monitoring-related alarm rules.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the AOM 2.0 console.
  2. In the navigation pane, choose Alarm Center > Alarm Noise Reduction.
  3. On the Silence tab page, click Create under Prometheus & Log Monitoring.
  4. On the displayed page, set basic rule information.

    Enterprise Project

    Enterprise project.

    Description

    Description of a silence rule. Enter up to 1,024 characters.

  5. Set Impact On.

    • Specific grouping rule: applies to the alarms triggered by the alarm rule bound to a specific grouping rule. The alarm rules that are not bound to the specific grouping rule will not be impacted.
    • Any grouping rule: applies to the alarms triggered by the alarm rule bound to any grouping rule. This option has a wide impact. The alarm rules whose alarm mode is set to Direct alarm reporting will not be impacted.

  6. Orchestrate the silence rule. You can orchestrate a silence rule by adding conditions and configuring silence time.
  7. (Optional) Click Add Condition to create a silence condition.

    • Click . Then you can select And or Or to configure filter conditions.
      • And: An alarm is triggered only when all conditions are met.

      Parameter

      Description

      Example

      Alarm Severity

      Severity of a metric or event alarm. Options: Critical, Major, Minor, and Warning.

      Alarm Severity + Equals To + Critical

      Resource Type

      Type of the resource selected when you create an alarm rule or configure custom alarm reporting. Options: include Service and Cluster.

      Resource Type + Equals To + Cluster

      Alarm Source

      Name of the service that triggers an alarm or event. Options: include AOM, LTS, and CCE.

      Alarm Source + Equals To + AOM

      Tag

      Alarm identification attribute. It consists of a tag name and tag value and can be customized.

      Tag + resource_type + Equals To + AOM

      Alarm Rule's Enterprise Project

      Enterprise project specified when the alarm rule is created. You can select the corresponding enterprise project.

      Alarm Rule's Enterprise Project + Equals To + default

      Original Rule Name

      Original alarm rule name configured during rule creation. Enter the original name of the alarm rule.

      Original Rule Name + Equals To + AOMAlarm

      Annotation

      Configured during alarm rule creation. It is an attribute that cannot be used to identify alarms. It consists of an annotation name and annotation value and can be customized.

      Annotation + aom_monitor_level + Equals To + infrastructure

      First Triggered

      Time range when an alarm is triggered for the first time. You can select Within Range or Out of Range for matching.

      First Triggered + Within Range + 2025.04.08 15:26 — 2025.04.08 16:26

      -

      Matching conditions:

      • Exists: XX + Exists + AA. This means that the alarm whose XX contains AA is filtered. For example, Tag + Exists + AOM indicates that the alarm whose tag contains AOM is filtered.
      • Not Exist: XX + Not Exist + AA. This means that the alarm whose XX does not contain AA is filtered. For example, Tag + Not Exist + AOM indicates that the alarm whose tag does not contain AOM is filtered.
      • Matches Regular Expression: XX + Matches Regular Expression + Expression. This means that the alarm whose XX matches the specified regular expression is filtered. For example, Resource Type + Matches Regular Expression + host* indicates that the alarm whose resource type starts with host is filtered.
      • Not Match Regular Expression: XX + Not Match Regular Expression + Expression. This means that the alarm whose XX does not match the specified regular expression is filtered. For example, Alarm Source + Not Match Regular Expression + LTS* indicates that the alarm whose alarm source does not start with LTS is filtered.

      Equals To, Not Equal To, Within Range, and Out of Range are not described in detail herein.
