Hi@akhtar,

The definition of an Alarm provides the rules that govern when a state transition should occur, and the actions to be taken there on. The nature of these rules depend on the alarm type.

Threshold rule alarms

For conventional threshold-oriented alarms, state transitions are governed by:

• A static threshold value with a comparison operator such as greater than or less than.
• A statistic selection to aggregate the data.
• A sliding time window to indicate how far back into the recent past you want to look.

Thank You
