Creating an Alarm Rule
The alarm function provides the alarm service for monitoring data. By creating alarm rules, you can define how the alarm system checks monitoring data and sends alarm notifications when monitoring data meets alarm policies. Alarm rules for important metrics help you timely know metric data exceptions and quickly rectify the faults.
If you disable Alarm Notification when creating an alarm rule, no alarm notification will be sent. You can view the status changes of alarm rules using the alarm records function of Cloud Eye.
This section describes how to create alarm rules for metrics and events.
Creating an Alarm Rule for Metric Monitoring
- Log in to the Cloud Eye console.
- In the navigation pane on the left, choose Alarm Management > Alarm Rules.
- On the displayed Alarm Rules page, click Create Alarm Rule and configure required parameters.
- Alarm Type: The type of the alarm that the alarm rule applies to. Select Metric.
- Cloud Product: The name of the service for which the alarm rule is configured. Select Cloud Phone Host - Cloud Phone Servers.

Creating an Alarm Rule and Notification for Event Monitoring
