1 Create Alarms for API

To create an API alarm, first, give your alarm a name that clearly identifies the monitored service. Then, select the resource type as API.

Once you have selected your desired targets, click on the Next button to proceed.

The next step is to select a rule for your new alarm. Each alarm can have multiple rules that define various trigger conditions. Whenever any of these conditions specified in any rule are met, you will receive a notification.

You can either select an existing rule or quickly create a new one by selecting the Create New Rule option. Once you have selected the desired rules, click on the Next button to proceed.

Next, configure your notification channels. Our platform supports various methods of notification, including email, phone, and Slack. Email notifications are enabled by default, while phone and Slack notifications are optional.
