Creating Alarm Rules

Define conditions that trigger alarms based on telemetry data

Creating an Alarm Rule

Navigate to an Application → Alarms tab.

Click Add Alarm.

Configure the alarm rule:

FieldDescription
NameDescriptive name (e.g., "High Temperature Alert")
DescriptionDetails about the alarm
FieldTelemetry field to monitor (e.g., temperature)
OperatorComparison: >, <, >=, <=, ==, !=
ThresholdNumeric value to compare against
SeverityINFO, WARNING, or CRITICAL

DeviceOptional — target a specific device, or leave blank for all
ActionsWhat happens when the alarm triggers

Click Save.

Create Alarm Rule

Alarm Scope

  • Application-wide: Leave the device field empty to monitor all devices in the application
  • Device-specific: Select a device to monitor only that device

Actions

ActionStatusDescription
NotificationAvailableCreates a platform notification delivered via WebSocket
WebhookComing soonSends an HTTP POST to a configured URL
EmailComing soonSends an email alert to specified recipients

The cooldown period prevents alarm fatigue. After a rule triggers, it won't trigger again for the same device until the cooldown expires — even if the value remains above the threshold.
