Apply alert templates to application groups - Cloud Monitor

If you have a large number of resources, we recommend that you add these resources to application groups. Then, you can create alert templates and apply them to the application groups. Alert templates allow you to create and manage alert rules in an efficient manner.

Prerequisites

One or more application groups are created. For more information, see Create an application group.
One or more alert templates are created. For more information, see Create an alert template.

When an alert template is applied to an application group, Cloud Monitor automatically deletes the original alert rules configured for the application group and creates alert rules based on the alert template.
