After creating an alert rule, you can modify, disable, enable, or delete it. You can also view the historical alerts and resources of any rule to identify and address exceptions quickly.

Disable one or more alert rules
Disabling an alert rule stops CloudMonitor from sending alert notifications for that rule. By default, a newly created alert rule has a status of Normal.
