Masking an Alarm Rule

Scenarios

This section describes how to mask an alarm rule.

Procedure

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click Service List in the upper left corner and select Cloud Eye.
3. In the navigation pane, choose Alarm Management > Alarm Rules.
4. On the Alarm Rules page, locate the row that contains the alarm rule to be masked, click More in the Operation column, and select Mask Alarms. On the displayed Create Alarm Masking dialog box, configure 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.
