You can flexibly create alarm rules on Cloud Eye. You can create an alarm rule for a monitored indicator or use the alarm template to create alarm rules in batches for multiple cloud service resources.

Cloud Eye provides you with default alarm templates tailored to each cloud service based on application properties as well as years of development and maintenance experience. In addition, you can also create custom alarm templates by modifying the default alarm template or adding alarm indicators.

This section describes how to use the default alarm template to add alarm rules for cloud service resources.
