Creates one or more alert rules for a specified application group.
Operation description
This topic provides an example to show how to create an alert rule for the cpu_total metric of Elastic Compute Service (ECS) in the 123456 application group. The ID of the alert rule is 456789. The name of the alert rule is ECS_Rule1. The alert level is Critical. The statistical method is Average. The comparison operator is GreaterThanOrEqualToThreshold. The alert threshold is 90. The number of alert retries is 3. The response shows that the alert rule named ECS_Rule1 is created.

| Escalations.Critical.Threshold | string | No | The threshold for Critical-level alerts. Valid values of N: 1 to 200. | 90 |
| Escalations.Critical.Statistics | string | No | The statistical methods for Critical-level alerts. Separate multiple statistical methods with commas (,). Valid values of N: 1 to 200. Valid value:
| Average |
| Escalations.Warn.ComparisonOperator | string | No | The comparison operator that is used to compare the metric value with the threshold. Valid values of N: 1 to 200. Valid value:

| SilenceTime | integer | No | The mute period during which new alerts are not sent even if the trigger conditions are met. Valid values of N: 1 to 200. Unit: seconds. Default value: 86400. Minimum value: 3600. | 86400 |
| Webhook | string | No | The callback URL. Valid values of N: 1 to 200. The callback URL must be accessible over the Internet. CloudMonitor pushes an alert notification to the specified callback URL by sending an HTTP POST request. Only the HTTP protocol is supported. | https://www.aliyun.com |

| Interval | string | No | The interval at which CloudMonitor checks whether the alert rule is triggered. Valid values of N: 1 to 200. Unit: seconds. The default value is the lowest frequency at which the metric is polled. Note
We recommend that you set the interval to the data aggregation period. If the interval is shorter than the data aggregation period, alerts cannot be triggered due to insufficient data.
