dimension_name

No

String

Resource dimension, which must start with a letter. A dimension can contain up to 32 characters, including only digits, letters, underscores (_), and hyphens (-). Use commas (,) to separate multiple dimensions. DimensionName in event alarm templates must be left blank.

metric_name

Yes

String

Metric name of a resource. The name must start with a letter and contain only digits, letters, and underscores. The length ranges from 1 to 64 characters. For example, cpu_util of an ECS indicates the CPU usage of the ECS. mongo001_command_ps in DDS indicates the command execution frequency. For details about the metric name of each service, see Service metric name.

extra_info

No

MetricExtraInfo object

Additional information about an alarm policy. This parameter is left blank by default.

period

Yes

Integer

Interval (seconds) for checking whether the alarm rule conditions are met.

Enumeration values:

  • 0

  • 1

  • 300

  • 1200

  • 3600

  • 14400

filter

Yes

String

Aggregation mode. average: average value; variance: variance; min: minimum value; max: maximum value; sum: sum; tp99: 99 percentile; tp95: 95 percentile; tp90: 90 percentile

comparison_operator

Yes

String

Threshold symbol. The value can be >, <, >=, <=, =, !=, cycle_decrease, cycle_increase, or cycle_wave. cycle_decrease indicates the decrease compared with the last period, cycle_increase indicates the increase compared with the last period, and cycle_wave indicates the increase or decrease compared with the last period. All of them can be used in alarm rules for metrics. >, <, >=, <=, =, and != can be used for alarm rules for events.

value

No

Number

Alarm threshold. If there is only one threshold, value and alarm_level are used in pairs. If there are both hierarchical_value and value, hierarchical_value is used.

Value range:

0-1.7976931348623156E108

hierarchical_value

No

HierarchicalValue object

Multi-level alarm threshold. If there are both hierarchical_value and value, hierarchical_value prevails.

When you create or modify an alarm rule, you can set only one threshold in the following scenarios:

  1. The alarm type is Metric and the alarm policy is Trigger an alarm when all policies are met.

  2. The alarm type is Event.

unit

No

String

Data unit. The value can contain up to 32 characters.

selected_unit

No

String

The unit you selected, which is used for subsequent metric data display and calculation.
