How do I edit an existing alarm?

Objective

Change an alarm you already created, its name, the errors it watches, the threshold that triggers it, or who gets notified, so it keeps matching what you want to be alerted about.

 

Product

Twilio Console

 

Environment

Twilio Console

 

Procedure

  1. In the Twilio Console, select Monitor in the left sidebar.
  2. Select Alerts, then Alarms.
  3. Select the Manage alarms tab.
  4. Find the alarm in the list, then either select its name or open the actions menu at the end of its row and select Edit. The Edit alarm form opens in a side panel, pre-filled with the alarm's current settings.
  5. Update any of the fields: Alarm name, the Error type and Error code under Alarm conditions, the Number of occurrences and Time range under Alarm threshold, or the Email and Webhook URL options under Notification methods.
  6. Select Save changes. A confirmation message reading "Alarm updated successfully" appears, the panel closes, and the list shows the updated values.

 

Additional Information

  • To leave the alarm unchanged, select Cancel to close the panel without saving.
  • Editing an alarm does not change whether it is on or off, use the Status switch in the row for that.
  • The Last modified (local) column in the list reflects your most recent change.
  • The same validation rules apply as when creating an alarm: the name is required and may contain only letters, numbers, and spaces; an error type must be selected; email addresses are separated by commas; a webhook must be a valid URL.
