Body Parameters
Positive numeric threshold used for alarm trigger evaluation.Notes:
thresholdis a sensitivity scalar (higher values are less sensitive; lower values are more sensitive).- The Dashboard may display an approximate ”% change” visualization for this value. Treat that UI percentage as a directional aid, not an exact conversion.
Sensitive→0.5Normal→1.0Relaxed→2.0Critical→2.5
Optional webhook destination for alarm notifications.
webhook_config should be a JSON object with:url(string, required)headers(object, optional)
{
"webhook_config": {
"url": "https://example.com/webhooks/alarms",
"headers": {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
