Masking an Alarm Rule

Cloud Eye allows you to create an alarm masking rule based on an alarm rule to mask the alarm rule. This topic describes how to mask an alarm rule.

In the navigation pane, choose Alarm Management > Rule Settings.

In some regions, the path is Alarm Management > Alarm Rules.
On the Alarm Rules page:
- Locate the row that contains the alarm rule to be masked and choose More > Mask Alarm in the Operation column.
- Select the alarm rules to be masked and choose More > Mask Alarm above the alarm rule list.
On the displayed page, set Alarm Masking Duration and click OK.
The differences between masking an alarm rule and disabling an alarm rule are as follows:
- After an alarm rule is disabled, Cloud Eye does not check whether its metrics reach the threshold or trigger an alarm.
- After an alarm rule is masked, alarm records are still generated but you cannot receive alarm notifications.
Check the masking status of the alarm rule.
On the Alarm Rules page, the masking status of the alarm rule changes to Applied.
