Creates an alert template.

This topic provides an example on how to create an alert template named Template_test and create an alert rule for the cpu_total metric of Elastic Compute Service (ECS) in the template. The name of the alert rule is Rule_test. The alert level is Critical. The statistical method is Average. The alert threshold comparator is GreaterThanOrEqualToThreshold. The alert threshold is 90. The number of alert retries is 3. The returned result indicates that the alert template is created and the alert template ID is 12345.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer. OpenAPI Explorer dynamically generates the sample code of the operation for different SDKs.
