Listing Status of Alarms

List status levels for alarms in Monitoring.

Note

You can suppress alarms during a given time range. You can also disable and delete alarms.

For information about alarm evaluations for determining alarm status, see Alarm Evaluations.

Optionally filter listed alarms by resource or status value. Filtering is available using the CLI or API.

For alarm troubleshooting, see Troubleshooting Alarms.

Before You Begin

IAM policies: To list status of alarms, you must be given the required type of access in a policy  written by an administrator. This requirement applies whether you're using the Console or the REST API with an SDK, CLI, or other tool. If you get a message that you don't have permission or are unauthorized, check with the administrator. You might not have the required type of access in the current compartment .

Administrators: For an example policy, see List Alarms and Alarm Status.

  • Listing Firing Alarms

    To list all alarms, see Listing Alarms.
    1. Open the navigation menu  and select Observability & Management. Under Monitoring, select Alarm Status.
      The page lists firing alarms in the selected compartment. Tiles at the top of the page indicate the number of firing alarms for each severity (critical, error, warning, and informational).
    2. To view the alarms in a different compartment, use the Compartment filter to switch compartments.
      You must have permission to work in a compartment to see the resources in it. If you're not sure which compartment to use, contact an administrator. For more information, see Understanding Compartments.
    Filtering List Results

    Use filters to limit the alarms in the list. Perform one of the following actions depending on the options that you see:

    • To filter the list by alarm status, select a status value from the Status list.
    • To filter the list by tag, select add under Tag filters.
    • To search for an alarm by name, enter the name in the search box on the upper right.
    Actions

    In the list table, select the name of an alarm to open its details page, where you can view its status and perform other tasks.

    To create an alarm, select Create Alarm.

    To perform an action on more than one alarm at a time, select the checkboxes next to the alarm names and then select an action from the Actions menu (Actions Menu) above the table.

  • Use the oci monitoring alarm-status list-alarms-status command and required parameters to list status of alarms:

    oci monitoring alarm-status list-alarms-status --compartment-id <compartment_OCID>

    Example command to list status of alarms for a specific resource:

    oci monitoring alarm-status list-alarms-status --compartment-id <compartment_OCID> --resource-id <resource_OCID>

    For a complete list of parameters and values for CLI commands, see the Command Line Reference for Monitoring.

  • Run the ListAlarmsStatus operation to list status of alarms.
