Clone an alert

Clone an alert to quickly create a new alert from an existing alert. Cloning copies an existing alert definition, which you can then modify as needed to create a new alert. While most parameters can be updated in the new alert, service and scope are retained and cannot be changed.

To clone an alert:

1. Log in to Cloud Manager.
2. Expand Monitor in the main menu, and select Alerts.
3. Use the search, filter, and sort tools to locate the alert definition you want to clone. Select an alert with the same service type and scope, since these settings can't be changed after cloning.
4. Select Clone from the options menu.
5. Provide a name and description for your new alert.
6. Change alert details as required. You can update any of the following settings:
   • severity
   • entities
   • evaluation criteria
   • notification channels
7. Click Submit to create your new alert.
