Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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