CloudMonitor:PutResourceMetricRule

Last Updated:Jul 26, 2024

Creates an alert rule for a metric of a resource.

Operation description

This topic provides an example on 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 metrics 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.

ExpressionRawstringNo

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 triggered 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 average metric value of more than three instances exceeds 20.
$Average > ($instanceId == 'i-io8kfvcpp7x5****'? 80: 50)
