Description

Creates an alert policy for an uptime check.

You can create an alert policy based on the following metrics: 

- `latency`: Alerts on the response latency. `--threshold` value is an integer representing milliseconds.
- `down`: Alerts on whether the endpoints registers as down from any of the configured regions. No `--threshold` value is necessary.
- `down_global`: Alerts on a target registering as down globally. No `--threshold` value is necessary.
- `ssl_expiry`: Alerts on an SSL certificate expiring within the set threshold of days. `--threshold` value is an integer representing days.

Example

The following example creates an alert for an uptime check with an ID of f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6. The alert triggers if the endpoint’s latency exceed 500ms for more than two minutes:

doctl monitoring uptime alert create f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6 --name "Example Alert" --type latency --threshold 100 --comparison greater_than --period 2m --emails "[email protected]"
