Alarm — Push alarms

•

API Name: Push alarms

•

Description: Push an alarm to an existing topology object, and the imported alarm will show on the Alarm dashboard. The “topologyObjectId” field is mandatory and the "ruleId" field is optional. This API set the value of “ruleId” to ExternalAlarm by default, if this field is not set. If you invoke this API using both fields, ensure that ruleId is properly defined to link with its topologyObjectId; otherwise the alarm might be imported into a wrong topology object. Consider for example a rule “CPU Utilization” is related to the "HostCPUs" object. If you define topologyObjectId to Host, this API imports CPU Utilization to the Host object. Postman provides "Alarm - Push Alarm XML" and "Alarm - Push Alarm JSON” sample codes for reference. Click here to download and import the sample codes.
