Creating an alert rule
Having enabled monitoring for our service, we can now create an alert rule by
selecting the
SLA Alert Rules
tab. Selecting
Add New
takes us to the
New Alert
Rule
dialog, where we can start configuring our rule.
After providing a name for the alert rule, we need to specify the destination. It is
possible to limit applicability of the rule by restricting the time window in which the
rule applies by setting an expiry date or by explicitly suspending the rule by setting
Rule Enabled
to false. The
Alert Severity
indicates the importance of this alert. The
Alert Frequency
is used to control whether the alert works as an edge trigger, firing
only when the threshold is first exceeded, or as a level trigger, firing whenever the
metric is above the threshold.
