    Auto Scaling:ModifyAlarm

    Last Updated:Dec 11, 2024

    Modifies an event-triggered task.

    Operation description

    • If you set the MetricType parameter to custom, you must report your custom metrics to CloudMonitor before you can create event-triggered tasks by using the custom metrics. For more information, see Custom monitoring event-triggered tasks.

    • When you create an event-triggered task, you must specify the MetricName, DimensionKey, and DimensionValue parameters to determine the range of statistics that you want to aggregate for the metrics of the scaling group. For example, you can specify the user_id and scaling_group dimensions for an event-triggered task to aggregate monitoring data of all Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances or elastic container instances in a scaling group within an Alibaba Cloud account.

      • If you set the MetricType parameter to custom, the valid values are your custom metrics.
      • For information about the metrics that are supported if you set the MetricType parameter to system, see Event-triggered task for system monitoring.
    Note The user_id and scaling_group dimensions are automatically populated. You need to only specify the device and state dimensions. For more information, see the DimensionKey and DimensionValue parameters in the "Request parameters" section of this topic.

    Debugging

    You can run this interface directly in OpenAPI Explorer, saving you the trouble of calculating signatures. After running successfully, OpenAPI Explorer can automatically generate SDK code samples.
