Creating an Alarm Rule

Scenarios

Cloud Eye allows you to use alarm templates to create alarm rules to monitor cloud resource usage and key operations. After an alarm rule is created, if a metric reaches the specified threshold or there is a specified event, Cloud Eye immediately informs you of the exception through Simple Message Notification (SMN).

This section describes how to create alarm rules to monitor metrics.

Creating an Alarm Rule

1. Log in to the management console.

2. In the upper left corner of the page, click to open the service list and choose Management & Deployment > Cloud Eye.
3. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Alarm Management > Alarm Rules.
4. On the Alarm Rules page, click Create Alarm Rule or modify an existing alarm rule.
5. Configure the parameters and click Create.

   After the alarm rule is configured, the system notifies you when an alarm is triggered.
