Associating a Resource Group with an Alarm Template

You can create a resource group and associate it with an alarm template to create alarm rules in batches. This improves alarm rule configuration efficiency.

If you have many cloud resources, you are advised to create resource groups by service application, create alarm templates, and associate resource groups with the alarm templates to create alarm rules in batches. This makes it easier and faster to create and maintain alarm rules. After a template is associated with the resource group, alarm rules for resources in this group will be generated. Any changes to the template will automatically update the alarm policies.

Associating Alarm Templates

Log in to the Cloud Eye console.
In the navigation pane, choose Resource Groups.

Locate the target resource group and click Associate Alarm Template in the Operation column.
In the displayed dialog box, select an alarm template.

Associating an alarm template with a resource group triggers asynchronous operations such as creating, updating, and deleting alarm rules. This process typically lasts 5 to 10 minutes but may take longer if there are multiple association tasks.
