Querying Alarm Rules

Function

This API is used to query alarm rules. You can specify the paging parameters to limit the number of query results displayed on a page. You can also set the sorting order of query results.

URI

GET /V1.0/{project_id}/alarms

Parameter description

**Table 1** Parameter description
Parameter	Mandatory	Description
project_id	Yes	Specifies the project ID. For details about how to obtain the project ID, see Obtaining a Project ID.

**Table 2** Parameter description
Parameter	Type	Description
alarms	Array of objects	Specifies the alarm rule list. For details, see Table 3.

**Table 3** Query parameter description
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
start	No	String	Specifies the first queried alarm to be displayed on a page. The value is alarm_id.
limit	No	Integer	Supported range: 1 to 100 (default) This parameter is used to limit the number of query results.
order	No	String	Specifies the result sorting method, which is sorted by timestamp. The default method is desc. asc: The query results are displayed in the ascending order. desc: The query results are displayed in the descending order.

Example
Request example 1: Query the current alarm rule list.
```
GET https://{Cloud Eye endpoint}/V1.0/{project_id}/alarms

Parameter	Type	Description
alarm_name	String	Specifies the alarm rule name.
alarm_description	String	Provides supplementary information about the alarm rule.

alarm_action_enabled	Boolean	Specifies whether to enable the action to be triggered by an alarm.
alarm_actions	Array of objects	Specifies the action to be triggered by an alarm. For details, see Table 8.
ok_actions	Array of objects	Specifies the action to be triggered after the alarm is cleared. For details, see Table 9.
alarm_id	String	Specifies the alarm rule ID.
update_time	Long	Specifies when the alarm status changed. The time is a UNIX timestamp and the unit is ms.
alarm_state	String	Specifies the alarm status, which can be ok: The alarm status is normal. alarm: An alarm is generated. insufficient_data: The required data is insufficient.

**Table 6** **metric** data structure description
Parameter	Type	Description
namespace	String	Specifies the namespace of a service. For example, see Namespace for the ECS namespace.
dimensions	Array of objects	Specifies the list of metric dimensions. For details, see Table 7.
metric_name	String	Specifies the metric ID. For example, if the monitoring metric of an ECS is CPU usage, metric_name is cpu_util.

**Table 7** **dimensions** data structure description
Parameter	Type	Description
name	String	Specifies the dimension. For example, the ECS dimension is instance_id, which is listed in the key column in Dimension.
value	String	Specifies the dimension value, for example, an ECS ID. Enter 1 to 256 characters.

**Table 8** **alarm_actions** data structure description
Parameter	Type	Description
type	String	Specifies the alarm notification type. notification: indicates that a notification will be sent. autoscaling: indicates that a scaling action will be triggered.
notificationList	Array of strings	Specifies the list of objects to be notified if the alarm status changes. NOTE: The IDs in the list are strings.

**Table 9** **ok_actions** data structure description
Parameter	Type	Description
type	String	Specifies the notification type when an alarm is triggered. notification: indicates that a notification will be sent. autoscaling: indicates that a scaling action will be triggered.
notificationList	Array of strings	Specifies the ID list of objects to be notified if the alarm status changes. NOTE: The IDs in the list are strings.

**Table 10** **condition** data structure description
Parameter	Type	Description
period	Integer	Specifies the interval (seconds) for checking whether the configured alarm rules are met.
filter	String	Specifies the data rollup method, which can be average: Cloud Eye calculates the average value of metric data within a rollup period. max: Cloud Eye calculates the maximum value of metric data within a rollup period. min: Cloud Eye calculates the minimum value of metric data within a rollup period. sum: Cloud Eye calculates the sum of metric data within a rollup period. variance: Cloud Eye calculates the variance value of metric data within a rollup period.
comparison_operator	String	Specifies the alarm threshold operator, which can be >, =, <, >=, or <=.
value	Double	Specifies the alarm threshold. Supported range: 0 to Number. MAX_VALUE (1.7976931348623157e+108) For detailed thresholds, see the value range of each metric in the appendix. For example, you can set ECS cpu_util in Metrics to 80.
unit	String	Specifies the data unit. Enter up to 32 characters.
