Frequently Asked Questions

What is an alarm rule?

An alarm rule is a reusable condition-to-severity template. Once installed on a device, asset, or profile, it evaluates live telemetry and raises — and clears — alarms whenever its conditions are met, with no rule logic to write.

How do I install an alarm rule?

Click Install and pick the target — a device, an asset, or a device/asset profile — in the install dialog. The rule is created there and starts evaluating live telemetry immediately. A profile-level install covers every entity of that type, including ones added later.

Are alarm rules compatible with all ThingsBoard editions?

Most rules work on CE and PE. Rules that rely on owner-hierarchy propagation are Professional Edition only. Each listing shows an edition badge and the minimum ThingsBoard version.

Do I need to configure thresholds before it works?

Usually not. Well-built rules read thresholds from server attributes with sensible defaults, so they fire correctly out of the box. You can override the value per entity by setting the attribute — no need to edit the rule.

What severities can a rule raise?

CRITICAL, MAJOR, MINOR, WARNING, and INDETERMINATE. A single rule can define different trigger conditions for different severities.

How does an alarm clear?

A rule can include a clear condition that clears the alarm automatically when telemetry returns to normal. Without one, the alarm stays active until an operator clears it.

What's the difference between Category and Use Case?

The category describes what the rule monitors (Threshold, Connectivity, Equipment Health, Environmental, Energy, Safety, Geofencing, Other). Use Case is the shared IoT domain (Cold Chain, Fleet Tracking, Predictive Maintenance, etc.) used across the whole marketplace.

How do I contribute an alarm rule?

Check the IoT Alarm Rule Contribution Guide that describes the process of adding alarm rules. You can also contact iothub@thingsboard.io for help.

Are alarm rules free to use?

All community-contributed alarm rules are currently free. Commercial listings may be introduced in a future phase.
