Configure alert rules

Prerequisites

You have purchased an Enterprise Edition instance.

Create an alert rule

1. Log on to the IoT Platform console. In the upper-left corner of the page, select the region where your instance is located.

2. On the Instance Overview tab, click the target instance card.

3. On the Instance Details page, click the Alert Rules tab.

4. Click Create Alert Rule.

5. In the Create Alert Rule panel, set the parameters for the alert rule, and click Next.

   Parameter	Description
   Metric	Select the metric to monitor. Available options: online devices upstream and downstream message TPS message forwarding TPS time-series data storage read IOPS time-series data storage write IOPS time-series data storage space data processing unit offline data storage space
   Rule name	Enter a name for the rule.
   Statistical fields	Select Count.
   Operator	Select an operator. Available options: >=, >, <=, <, or !=. Day-on-day increase or decrease (%). Week-on-week increase or decrease (%). Period-over-period increase or decrease (%).
   Threshold	Specify an alert threshold.
   Evaluation periods	The number of consecutive periods for which the metric must meet the threshold condition. Options: 1, 3, 5, and 10.
   Period	The interval at which the metric is evaluated. Options: 1 minute and 5 minutes.

   For example, if you set the Period to 1 minute, the Threshold to >50, and the Evaluation periods to 3, an alert is triggered if the number of online devices exceeds 50 for three consecutive minutes.

6. Configure alert notifications and click Confirm.

   Parameter	Description
   Effective period	The time range during which the alert rule takes effect.
   Alert silence cycle	The interval between repeated notifications while an alert condition persists.
