Modifies a specified rule.

Limits

Each Alibaba Cloud account can run a maximum of 50 queries per second (QPS).

Note RAM users of an Alibaba Cloud account share the quota of the account.

Debugging

Alibaba Cloud provides OpenAPI Explorer to simplify API usage. OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer. OpenAPI Explorer dynamically generates the sample code of the operation for different SDKs.

Request parameters

Parameter Type Required Example Description
Action String Yes UpdateRule

The operation that you want to perform. Set the value to UpdateRule.

RuleId Long Yes 100000

The ID of the rule that you want to modify. You can log on to the IoT Platform console and choose Rules > Data Forwarding to view the rule ID. You can also call the ListRule operation and view the rule ID in the response.

IotInstanceId String No iot-cn-0pp1n8t****

The ID of the instance. You can view the instance ID on the Overview page in the IoT Platform console.

Notice
  • If your instance has an ID, you must configure this parameter. If you do not set this parameter, the call fails.
  • If your instance has no Overview page or ID, you do not need to set this parameter.

For more information, see Overview.

Select String No deviceName() as deviceName, items.Humidity.value as Humidity, items.Temperature.value as Temperature

The SQL SELECT statement to be executed. For more information, see SQL expressions.

Note Specify the content that follows the SELECT keyword for this parameter. For example, if the SELECT statement is SELECT a,b,c, specify a,b,c for this parameter.
ShortTopic String No +/thing/event/property/post

The topic to which this rule is applied. Syntax: ${deviceName}/topicShortName. ${deviceName} specifies the name of the device, and topicShortName specifies the custom name of the topic.

  • Basic communication topics or Thing Specification Language (TSL)-based communication topics. Syntax: ${deviceName}/topicShortName. You can replace ${deviceName} with the + wildcard. The wildcard indicates that the topic applies to all devices under the product. Valid values of topicShortName:
    • /thing/event/property/post: submits the property data of a device.
    • /thing/event/${tsl.event.identifier}/post: submits the event data of a device. ${tsl.event.identifier} specifies the identifier of an event in the TSL model.
    • /thing/lifecycle: submits device lifecycle changes.
    • /thing/downlink/reply/message: sends a response to a request from IoT Platform.
    • /thing/list/found: submits the data when a gateway detects a new sub-device.
    • /thing/topo/lifecycle: submits device topology changes.
    • /thing/event/property/history/post: submits historical property data of a device.
    • /thing/event/${tsl.event.identifier}/post: submits the historical event data of a device. ${tsl.event.identifier} specifies the identifier of an event in the TSL.
    • /ota/upgrade: submits OTA update statuses.
    • /ota/version/post: submits OTA module versions.
    • /thing/deviceinfo/update: submits device tag changes.

    • /edge/driver/${driver_id}/point_post: submits pass-through data from Link IoT Edge. ${driver_id} specifies the ID of the driver that a device uses to access Link IoT Edge.

      ${packageId}/${jobId}/ota/job/status: submits the statuses of OTA update batches. This topic is a basic communication topic. ${packageId} specifies the ID of the update package. ${jobId} specifies the ID of the update batch.

  • Custom topics. Example: ${deviceName}/user/get.

    You can call the QueryProductTopic operation to view all custom topics of the product.

    When you specify a custom topic, you can use the + and # wildcards.

    • You can replace ${deviceName} with the + wildcard. The wildcard indicates that the topic applies to all devices under the product.

    • You can replace the fields that follow ${deviceName} with /user/#. The # wildcard indicates that the topic applies whatever values are specified for the fields that follow/user.

      For more information about how to use wildcards, see Wildcards in topics.

  • Topic that is used to submit device status changes: ${deviceName}.

    You can use the + wildcard. In this case, the status changes of all devices under the product are submitted.

Where String No Temperature>35

The condition that is used to trigger the rule. For more information, see SQL expressions.

Note Specify the content that follows the WHERE keyword for this parameter. For example, if the WHERE statement is WHERE a>10, specify a>10 for this parameter.
ProductKey String No aladaeW****

The ProductKey of the product to which the rule applies.

Name String No test_2

The name of the rule. The rule name must be 1 to 30 characters in length, and can contain letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-).

RuleDesc String No test

The description of the rule. The description can be up to 100 characters in length.

TopicType Integer No 1
  • 0: The topic is a basic communication topic or TSL-based communication topic.
  • 1: The topic is a custom topic.
  • 2: The topic is used to submit device status changes. Syntax: /as/mqtt/status/${productKey}/${deviceName}.
Topic String No /sys/g18l***/device1/thing/event/property/post

The complete topic to which the rule applies.

If you specify this parameter, you do not need to specify the ProductKey, ShortTopic, and TopicType parameters.

In addition to the preceding operation-specific request parameters, you must specify common request parameters when you call this operation. For more information, see Common request parameters.
