Figure 1 Create Custom Template

**Table 1** Parameters
Parameter	Description
Name	Specifies the custom template name. The system generates a random name, which you can modify. Example value: alarmTemplate-c6ft
Description	(Optional) Provides supplementary information about the custom template.
Alarm Type	Specifies the alarm type to which the alarm template applies. The value can be Metric or Event.
Event Type	Specifies the event type when you set Alarm Type to Event. The default value is System Event.
Method	You can select Use existing template or Configure manually. Use existing template: Select an existing template and use or modify default alarm rules in the template. Configure manually: You can customize alarm policies as required.
Add Resource Type	Specifies the type of the resource the alarm template is created for. Example value: Elastic Cloud Server
Alarm Policy	Specifies the policy for triggering an alarm. When you set Alarm Type to Metric, whether to trigger an alarm depends on whether the data in consecutive periods reaches the threshold. For example, Cloud Eye triggers an alarm if the average CPU usage of the monitored object is 80% or more for three consecutive 5-minute periods. If you set Alarm Type to Event and specify an event (such as improper ECS running), Cloud Eye triggers an alarm as long as the event occurs. For details, see Alarm Policies. NOTE: Up to 50 alarm policies can be added to an alarm rule. If any one of these alarm policies is met, an alarm is triggered.
Alarm Severity	Specifies the alarm severity, which can be Critical, Major, Minor, or Informational.
Operation	You can copy or delete an added alarm policy.
