PutResourceMetricRule - CloudMonitor - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

This topic provides an example to show how to create a threshold-triggered alert rule for the cpu_total metric of an Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance whose ID is i-uf6j91r34rnwawoo****. The namespace of ECS is acs_ecs_dashboard. The alert contact group of the alert rule is ECS_Group. The name of the alert rule is test123. The ID of the alert rule is a151cd6023eacee2f0978e03863cc1697c89508****. The statistical method for Critical-level alerts is Average. The comparison operator for Critical-level alerts is GreaterThanOrEqualToThreshold. The threshold for Critical-level alerts is 90. The consecutive number of times for which the metric value meets the trigger condition before a Critical-level alert is triggered is 3.

Threshold	String	No	90	The alert threshold.
ExpressionListJoin	String	No	\|\|	The relationship between the trigger conditions for multiple metrics. Valid values: `&&`: An alert is triggered only if all metrics meet the trigger conditions. An alert is triggered only if the results of all expressions specified in the ExpressionList parameter are `true`. `\|\|`: An alert is triggered if one of the metrics meets the trigger conditions.
ExpressionRaw	String	No	$Average > ($instanceId == 'i-io8kfvcpp7x5****'? 80: 50)	The trigger conditions that are created by using expressions. You can use expressions to create trigger conditions in the following scenarios: Set an alert blacklist for specific resources. For example, if you specify `$instanceId != 'i-io8kfvcpp7x5**'` `&&` `$Average > 50`, no alert is generated even when the `average metric value` of the `i-io8kfvcpp7x5` instance exceeds 50. Set a special alert threshold for a specified instance in the rule. For example, if you specify `$Average > ($instanceId == 'i-io8kfvcpp7x5'? 80: 50)`, an alert is triggered when the `average metric value` of the `i-io8kfvcpp7x5**` instance exceeds 80 or the `average metric value` of other instances exceeds 50. Limit the number of instances whose metric values exceed the threshold. For example, if you specify `count($Average > 20) > 3`, an alert is triggered only when the number of instances whose `average metric value` exceeds 20 exceeds three.
Level	String	No	Critical	The level of the alert. Valid values: Critical Warn Info
Times	Integer	No	3	The number of consecutive triggers. If the number of times that the metric values meet the trigger conditions reaches the value of this parameter, CloudMonitor sends alert notifications.
Labels.N.Key	String	No	tagKey1	The tag key.
Labels.N.Value	String	No	ECS	The tag value. Note You can use a template parameter to specify a tag value. CloudMonitor replaces the value of the template parameter with an actual tag value.
Prometheus	Object	No		The Prometheus alert rule. Note This parameter is required only when you create a Prometheus alert rule for Hybrid Cloud Monitoring.
PromQL	String	No	cpuUsage{instanceId="xxxx"}[1m]>90	The PromQL query statement. Note The data obtained by using the PromQL query statement is the monitoring data. You must include the alert threshold in this statement.
Level	String	No	Critical	The level of the alert. Valid values: Critical Warn Info
Times	Integer	No	3	The number of consecutive triggers. If the number of times that the metric values meet the trigger conditions reaches the value of this parameter, CloudMonitor sends alert notifications.
Annotations	Array	No		The annotations of the Prometheus alert rule. When a Prometheus alert is triggered, the system renders the annotated keys and values to help you understand the metrics and alert rule. Note This parameter is equivalent to the annotations parameter of open source Prometheus.
Key	String	No	summary	The key of the annotation.
Value	String	No	{{ $labels.instance }} CPU usage above 10% {current value: {{ humanizePercentage $value }} }	The value of the annotation.
