<p class="shortdesc">An Alarm template contains a set of alarming rules.

You can set one or more alarm rules in the same alarm template. The alarm template can be bound to the cloud instance that is to be monitored so as to simplify the creation and maintenance of alarm rules to the greatest extent.</p> <p class="p" id="Create_alarm_template__p_pq2_gc3_1kb">At present, there are two methods to configure alarm rules: </p> <ul class="ul" id="Create_alarm_template__ul_dg1_bb3_1kb"> <li class="li"><span class="ph uicontrol">Static Rule</span>: define how the alarm system detects the monitoring data by configuring the specified function, and send the alarm notification when the monitoring data meets the alarm rules.</li> <li class="li"><span class="ph uicontrol">Dynamic Threshold</span>: make full use of the intelligent algorithm model for exception screening. The model will automatically learn and update according to the exceptions to ensure the accuracy and punctuality of alarms, and greatly reduce the manpower invested by enterprises in the operation and maintenance of a large number of machines.</li> </ul> <p class="p" id="Create_alarm_template__p_dyk_brn_xjb">In addition, Argus will provide an initializing alarm template for some cloud resources, making the template easy to use. </p> </section> <section id="Create_alarm_template__steps_ijf_b3k_3jb"><div class="tasklabel"><h2 class="doc-tairway">Procedure</h2></div><ol class="ol steps" id="Create_alarm_template__steps_ijf_b3k_3jb"><li class="li step stepexpand"> <span class="ph cmd">Log in to the <a class="xref" href="/console/argus/overview" target="_blank">Argus Console</a>.</span> </li><li class="li step stepexpand" id="Create_alarm_template__step_kbq_5wj_mlb"> <span class="ph cmd">In the left navigation pane, click <span class="ph uicontrol">Templates</span>.</span> </li><li class="li step stepexpand"> <span class="ph cmd">On the <span class="keyword wintitle">Templates</span> page, click the drop-down button at the rear of the <span class="ph uicontrol">Type</span> to select the product in which the template is to be created. </span> <div class="itemgroup info"> <img class="image" id="Create_alarm_template__image_od1_whh_4jb" src="https://obs-cn-shanghai.yun.pingan.com/pcp-portal/20201507091432-1eb49d65960a.png"> </div> </li><li class="li step stepexpand"> <span class="ph cmd">In the upper-right corner of the page, click <span class="ph uicontrol">Create</span>.</span> </li><li class="li step stepexpand"> <span class="ph cmd">On the <span class="keyword wintitle">Create Alarm Template</span> page, configure the following information.</span> <div class="itemgroup info"> <ol class="ol" type="a" id="Create_alarm_template__ol_v1w_fyy_3jb"> <li class="li">Configure the <span class="ph uicontrol">General Info</span> of the template.<table class="table frame-all" id="Create_alarm_template__table_xnd_fmk_3jb"><caption></caption><colgroup><col style="width:22.98850574712644%"><col style="width:77.01149425287358%"></colgroup><thead class="thead"> <tr class="row"> <th class="entry" id="Create_alarm_template__table_xnd_fmk_3jb__entry__1">Configuration item</th> <th class="entry" id="Create_alarm_template__table_xnd_fmk_3jb__entry__2">Description</th> </tr> </thead><tbody class="tbody"> <tr class="row"> <td class="entry" headers="Create_alarm_template__table_xnd_fmk_3jb__entry__1 "> <p class="p"><span class="ph uicontrol">Template name</span></p> </td> <td class="entry" headers="Create_alarm_template__table_xnd_fmk_3jb__entry__2 "> <p class="p">The name of the configured alarm template.</p> </td> </tr> <tr class="row"> <td class="entry" headers="Create_alarm_template__table_xnd_fmk_3jb__entry__1 "> <p class="p"><span class="ph uicontrol">Contact group</span></p> </td> <td class="entry" headers="Create_alarm_template__table_xnd_fmk_3jb__entry__2 "> <p class="p">The contact group that is to be informed when the alarm occurs.</p> <p class="p">Click <span class="ph uicontrol">Select Contact Group</span>, on the page that opens, check the contact group and click <span class="ph uicontrol">Finish</span>.</p> </td> </tr> </tbody></table></li> <li class="li">Click <span class="ph uicontrol">Add Alarm Rule</span> at the bottom of the page.
