Rules
This page will walk you through the process of creating rules for nodes and APIs.
To create a new rule, go to the BlockWatch > Monitor
page and click the Create Rule
button located on the Rules
tab. Currently, we can monitor two different Resource Types as Node and API.

1 Create Rules for API
To create a new API rule, simply enter a preferred name for your rule and select the resource type as API. In the case of API rules, you can set triggers specifically for API Usage
. This enables you to receive an alarm when the API usage surpasses the defined threshold.

After reviewing your rule settings, click on the Confirm
button to finalize the process. Once confirmed, the newly created rule for API
will be displayed on the Rules
page.

2 Create Rules for Node
To begin creating new rules for nodes, first click the Create Rule
button on the Rules
page.

Next, enter a preferred name for your new rule, select the resource type as node, and proceed to selecting the node trigger.
2.1 Rule Triggers
In any rule for Node, you can set triggers for both Node Status
and Resource Utilization
.
You have to set at least one trigger for a valid rule.
You can choose from the following status trigger types:
- Node Status Triggers
This trigger type will activate an alarm when the nodes undergo any of the selected statuses. You have the flexibility to monitor either all status changes for a node or choose specific status changes based on your requirements.

- Resource Utilization Triggers
You can configure this type of rule to trigger an alarm when the utilization of the selected resources exceeds a specified threshold. You have the option to monitor the utilization of all resources or only some specific ones.
Choose the options according to your preferences, then review your rule settings. Finally, click on the Confirm
button to complete the process. The newly created rule for Node
will be shown on the Rules
page.
