   • Name: The system generates a random name for the alarm rule. You can change it as needed.
   • Description: Add supplementary information about the rule.
   • Alarm Policy: Specify the conditions for triggering an alarm. An alarm will be triggered if the metric data in the specified number of consecutive periods reaches the specified threshold.
