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.

For API V1, only an alarm rule can be configured for a single resource. You are advised to use Querying Alarm Rules (Recommended) to work with the console.

Debugging

You can debug the API in API Explorer which supports automatic authentication. API Explorer can automatically generate and debug example SDK code.
