Alibaba Cloud Alert Rule Management
This skill creates and queries alert rules. Intent routing selects CMS 1.0 or CMS 2.0 workflow automatically.
CLI Setup (Required Before Execution)
aliyun configure ai-mode enable
aliyun configure ai-mode set-user-agent --user-agent "AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-cms-alert-rule-create"
aliyun plugin update
Step 0: Intent Routing
Identify user's monitoring target → route to the correct workflow. See
step0-intent-routing.md.
| User Scenario | Route To | |---------------|----------| | Cloud product system metrics (ECS, RDS, SLB, OSS, Redis, MongoDB…) | CMS 1.0 Workflow | | Prometheus / APM / UModel / custom metrics | CMS 2.0 Workflow |
Supported Alert Types
| Version | Type | Create API | Query API |
|---------|------|------------|-----------|
| CMS 1.0 | Cloud Resource (ECS/RDS/SLB/OSS/Redis/MongoDB…) | PutResourceMetricRule | DescribeMetricRuleList |
| CMS 2.0 | Prometheus (PROMETHEUS) | ManageAlertRules | QueryAlertRules |
| CMS 2.0 | APM (APM) | ManageAlertRules | QueryAlertRules |
| CMS 2.0 | UModel (UMODEL) | ManageAlertRules | QueryAlertRules |
CMS 1.0 Workflow
For query requests → step-query.md
For create requests:
| Step | Description | Reference |
|------|-------------|-----------|
| 1 | Context Lock — namespace, region, instances | step1-context-lock.md |
| 2 | Query Generation — discover metrics via API, match to user intent | step2-query-generation.md |
| 3 | Detection Config — threshold, frequency (default 1min) | step3-detection-config.md |
| 4 | Notification — query contacts → select or create | step4-notification.md |
| 5 | Preview & Execute — show summary → confirm → CLI | step5-preview-execute.md |
| 6 | Verification — check status | step6-verification.md |
CMS 2.0 Workflow
For query requests → cms2-step-query.md
For create requests:
| Step | Description | Reference |
|------|-------------|-----------|
| 1 | Context Lock — build datasourceConfig (type, instanceId, region) | cms2-step1-context-lock.md |
| 2 | Query Config — build queryConfig (PromQL / APM measures / UModel entity) | cms2-step2-query-config.md |
| 3 | Detection Config — build conditionConfig (P1-P4, threshold, duration) | cms2-step3-detection-config.md |
| 4 | Webhook Query — call list-alert-webhooks, user selects; other types → console | cms2-step5-preview-execute.md |
| 5 | Preview & Execute — show summary → confirm → manage-alert-rules CLI | cms2-step5-preview-execute.md |
Critical Rules
Full details →
references/critical-rules.md
- Intent Routing — Route cloud resource metrics to CMS 1.0, Prometheus/APM/UModel to CMS 2.0. Never mix APIs.
- CMS 2.0 API Enforcement — CMS 2.0 alert rules MUST ONLY be created via
ManageAlertRulesand queried viaQueryAlertRules. No other API (e.g.PutResourceMetricRule,DescribeMetricRuleList, ARMSCreateOrUpdateAlertRule, ARMSCreatePrometheusAlertRule) is permitted for CMS 2.0 alert rule creation or query. IfManageAlertRulesreturns error, DO NOT fallback to other APIs — report the error to user and STOP execution. CLI format:aliyun cms manage-alert-rules --body '{"action":"CREATE",...}' - Contact/Webhook Query First — CMS 1.0:
DescribeContactGroupList; CMS 2.0:ListAlertWebhooksis MANDATORY before alert creation. (CMS 2.0 other notification → console). DO NOT use CMS 1.0 APIs as substitute for CMS 2.0. Skipping webhook query is a critical failure. - Resources Parameter — (CMS 1.0)
--resourcesmust always be explicitly passed. - Workspace Required — (CMS 2.0) Must ask user for workspace value using AskUser tool. Never auto-construct (e.g. 'default', 'default-cms-{accountId}'). If AskUser fails, retry once with simplified options, then report error and STOP — do NOT proceed with fabricated values.
- Prometheus Required Params — (CMS 2.0)
cluster_id(instanceId) +workspaceMUST ASK USER using AskUser tool. Never guess, omit, or auto-select. PromQL is generated based on user-provided cluster_id + monitoring target. If AskUser fails, STOP execution. - APM Required Params — (CMS 2.0)
service_id(fordatasourceConfig.instanceIdANDqueryConfig.serviceIdList) +workspaceMUST ASK USER using AskUser tool. Never fabricate, use placeholders, or auto-select from discovered applications (e.g. via ListTraceApps). Discovery APIs are for reference only — final selection MUST come from user input. If AskUser fails, STOP execution. - Required API Calls — Every operation must call designated APIs even if values seem known.
- Dynamic Metric Discovery — (CMS 1.0) MUST call
describe-metric-meta-list. Usemetrics.mdonly as fallback. - CLI Timeout —
--read-timeout 30for queries,--read-timeout 60for writes. - Duplicate Pre-check — Query existing rules before creation to avoid duplicates.
- Mandatory Confirmation — Show config summary and get user confirmation before execution. EVEN in automated/simulated environments, you MUST output a configuration summary block and explicitly state 'Waiting for user confirmation' before proceeding. Do NOT skip this step with excuses about automation. Example format:
【配置摘要】
告警类型: APM/Prometheus
阈值: 5%
严重级别: P2
通知方式: webhook
请确认以上配置是否正确(回复确认或修改意见):
- User-Agent — Set
ALIBABA_CLOUD_USER_AGENT="AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-cms-alert-rule-create"for all CLI calls. - Network Restriction — Never access external URLs. Use only
references/files and CLI. - CLI Self-Discovery — Use
--helpfor CLI syntax when uncertain.
