1. Navigate to the AWS IoT SiteWise console.

2. In the navigation pane, choose Models.

3. Choose the asset model for which to define an alarm.

4. Choose the Alarm tab.

5. Choose Add alarm.

6. In the Alarm type options section, choose AWS IoT Events alarm.

7. In the Alarm details section, do the following:

   1. Enter a name for your alarm.

   2. (Optional) Enter a description for your alarm.

8. In the Threshold definitions section, you define when the alarm detects and the severity of the alarm. Do the following:

   1. Select the Property on which the alarm detects. Each time this property receives a new value, AWS IoT SiteWise sends the value to AWS IoT Events to evaluate the state of the alarm.

   2. Select the Operator to use to compare the property with the threshold value. Choose from the following options:

      • < less than

      • <= less than or equal

      • == equal

      • != not equal

      • >= greater than or equal

      • > greater than

   3. For Value, select the attribute property to use as the threshold value. AWS IoT Events compares the value of the property with the value of this attribute.

   4. Enter the Severity of the alarm. Use a number that your team understands to reflect the severity of this alarm.

9. (Optional) In the Notification settings - optional section, do the following:

   1. Choose Active.

      Note

      If you choose Inactive, you and your team won't receive any alarm notifications.

   2. For Recipient, choose the recipient.

      Important

      You can send alarm notifications to AWS IAM Identity Center users. To use this feature, you must enable IAM Identity Center. You can only enable IAM Identity Center in one AWS Region at a time. This means that you can define alarm notifications only in the Region where you enable IAM Identity Center. For more information, see Getting started in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.

   3. For Protocol, choose from the following options:

      • Email & text – The alarm notifies IAM Identity Center users with an SMS message and an email message.

      • Email – The alarm notifies IAM Identity Center users with an email message.

      • Text – The alarm notifies IAM Identity Center users with an SMS message.

   4. For Sender, choose the sender.

      Important

      You must verify the sender email address in Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES). For more information, see Verifying an email address identity, in the Amazon Simple Email Service Developer Guide.

10. In the Default asset state section, you can set the default state for alarms created from this asset model.

    Note

    You activate or deactivate this alarm for assets that you create from this asset model in a later step.

11. In the Advanced settings section, you can configure the permissions, the additional notification settings, the alarm state actions, the alarm model in SiteWise Monitor, and the acknowledge flow.

    Note

    AWS IoT Events alarms require the following service roles:

    • A role that AWS IoT Events assumes to send alarm state values to AWS IoT SiteWise.

    • A role that AWS IoT Events assumes to send data to Lambda. You only need this role if your alarm sends notifications.

    In the Permissions section, do the following:

    1. For AWS IoT Events role, use an existing role or create a role with the required permissions. This role requires the iotsitewise:BatchPutAssetPropertyValue permission and a trust relationship that allows iotevents.amazonaws.com to assume the role.

    2. For the AWS IoT Events Lambda role, use an existing role or create a role with the required permissions. This role requires the lambda:InvokeFunction and sso-directory:DescribeUser permissions and a trust relationship that allows iotevents.amazonaws.com to assume the role.

12. (Optional) In the Additional notification settings section, do the following:

    1. For Recipient attribute, you define an attribute whose value specifies the recipient of the notification. You can choose IAM Identity Center users as recipients.

       You can create an attribute or use an existing attribute on the asset model.

       • If you choose Create a new recipient attribute, specify the Recipient attribute name and Recipient default value - optional for the attribute.

       • If you choose Use an existing recipient attribute, choose the attribute in Recipient attribute name. The alarm uses the default value of the attribute that you choose.

       You can override the default value on each asset that you create from this asset model.

    2. For Custom message attribute, you define an attribute whose value specifies the custom message to send in addition to the default state change message. For example, you can specify a message that helps your team understand how to address this alarm.

       You can choose to create an attribute or use an existing attribute on the asset model.

       • If you choose to Create a new custom message attribute, specify the Custom message attribute name and Custom message default value - optional for the attribute.

       • If you choose Use an existing custom message attribute, choose the attribute in Custom message attribute name. The alarm uses the default value of the attribute that you choose.

       You can override the default value on each asset that you create from this asset model.

    3. For Manage your Lambda function, do one of the following:

       • To have AWS IoT SiteWise create a new Lambda function, choose Create a new lambda from an AWS managed template.

       • To use an existing Lambda function, choose Use an existing lambda and choose the name of the function.

       1. Under Alarm state actions, add actions. and the choose Save.

          You can add up to 10 actions.

       AWS IoT Events can perform actions when the alarm is active. You can define built-in actions to use a timer or set a variable, or send data to other AWS resources. For more information, see Supported actions in the AWS IoT Events Developer Guide.

11. Choose Create.

    Note

    The AWS IoT Events console makes multiple API requests to add the alarm to the asset model. When you choose Add alarm, the console opens a dialog box that shows the progress of these API requests. Stay on this page until each API requests succeeds or until an API request fails. If a request fails, close the dialog box, fix the issue, and choose Add alarm to try again.

To define an alarm on an asset model (CLI)

1. Create a file called asset-model-payload.json. Follow the steps in these other sections to add your asset model's details to the file, but don't submit the request to create or update the asset model. In this section, you add an alarm definition to the asset model details in the asset-model-payload.json file.

   • For more information about how to create an asset model, see Create an asset model (AWS CLI).

   • For more information about how to update an existing asset model, see Update an asset or component model (AWS CLI).

   Note

   Your asset model must define at least one asset property, including the asset property to monitor with the alarm.

2. Add an alarm composite model (assetModelCompositeModels) to the asset model. An AWS IoT Events alarm composite model specifies the IOT_EVENTS type and specifies an alarm source property. You add the alarm source property after you create the alarm model in AWS IoT Events.

   Important

   The alarm composite model must have the same name as the AWS IoT Events alarm model you create later. Alarm model names can contain only alphanumeric characters. Specify a unique, alphanumeric name so that you can use the same name for the alarm model.

   {
     ...
     "assetModelCompositeModels": [
       {
         "name": "BoilerTemperatureHighAlarm",
         "type": "AWS/ALARM",
         "properties": [
           {
             "name": "AWS/ALARM_TYPE",
             "dataType": "STRING",
             "type": {
               "attribute": {
                 "defaultValue": "IOT_EVENTS"
               }
             }
           },
           {
             "name": "AWS/ALARM_STATE",
             "dataType": "STRUCT",
             "dataTypeSpec": "AWS/ALARM_STATE",
             "type": {
               "measurement": {}
             }
           }
         ]
       }
     ]
   }

3. Add an alarm threshold attribute to the asset model. Specify the default value to use for this threshold. You can override this default value on each asset based on this model.

   Note

   The alarm threshold attribute must be an INTEGER or a DOUBLE.

   {
     ...
     "assetModelProperties": [
       ...
       {
         "name": "Temperature Max Threshold",
         "dataType": "DOUBLE",
         "type": {
           "attribute": {
             "defaultValue": "105.0"
           }
         }
       }
     ]
   }

4. (Optional) Add alarm notification attributes to the asset model. These attributes specify the IAM Identity Center recipient and other inputs that AWS IoT Events uses to send notifications when the alarm changes state. You can override these defaults on each asset based on this model.

   Important

   You can send alarm notifications to AWS IAM Identity Center users. To use this feature, you must enable IAM Identity Center. You can only enable IAM Identity Center in one AWS Region at a time. This means that you can define alarm notifications only in the Region where you enable IAM Identity Center. For more information, see Getting started in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.

   Do the following:

   1. Add an attribute that specifies the ID of your IAM Identity Center identity store. You can use the IAM Identity Center ListInstances API operation to list your identity stores. This operation works only in the Region where you enable IAM Identity Center.

      aws sso-admin list-instances

      Then, specify the identity store ID (for example, d-123EXAMPLE) as the default value for the attribute.

      {
        ...
        "assetModelProperties": [
          ...
          {
            "name": "identityStoreId",
            "dataType": "STRING",
            "type": {
              "attribute": {
                "defaultValue": "d-123EXAMPLE"
              }
            }
          }
        ]
      }

   2. Add an attribute that specifies the ID of the IAM Identity Center user who receives notifications. To define a default notification recipient, add an IAM Identity Center user ID as the default value. Do one of the following to get an IAM Identity Center user ID:

      1. You can use the IAM Identity Center ListUsers API to get the ID of a user whose user name you know. Replace d-123EXAMPLE with the ID of your identity store, and replace Name with the user name of the user.

         aws identitystore list-users \
           --identity-store-id d-123EXAMPLE \
           --filters AttributePath=UserName,AttributeValue=Name

      2. Use the IAM Identity Center console to browse your users and find a user ID.

      Then, specify the user ID (for example, 123EXAMPLE-a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-33333EXAMPLE) as the default value for the attribute, or define the attribute without a default value.

      {
        ...
        "assetModelProperties": [
          ...
          {
            "name": "userId",
            "dataType": "STRING",
            "type": {
              "attribute": {
                "defaultValue": "123EXAMPLE-a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-33333EXAMPLE"
              }
            }
          }
        ]
      }

   3. (Optional) Add an attribute that specifies the default sender ID for SMS (text) message notifications. The sender ID displays as the message sender on messages that Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) sends. For more information, see Requesting sender IDs for SMS messaging with Amazon SNS in the Amazon Simple Notification Service Developer Guide.

      {
        ...
        "assetModelProperties": [
          ...
          {
            "name": "senderId",
            "dataType": "STRING",
            "type": {
              "attribute": {
                "defaultValue": "MyFactory"
              }
            }
          }
        ]
      }

   4. (Optional) Add an attribute that specifies the default email address to use as the from address in email notifications.

      {
        ...
        "assetModelProperties": [
          ...
          {
            "name": "fromAddress",
            "dataType": "STRING",
            "type": {
              "attribute": {
                "defaultValue": "my.factory@example.com"
              }
            }
          }
        ]
      }

   5. (Optional) Add an attribute that specifies the default subject to use in email notifications.

      {
        ...
        "assetModelProperties": [
          ...
          {
            "name": "emailSubject",
            "dataType": "STRING",
            "type": {
              "attribute": {
                "defaultValue": "[ALERT] High boiler temperature"
              }
            }
          }
        ]
      }

   6. (Optional) Add an attribute that specifies an additional message to include in notifications. By default, notification messages include information about the alarm. You can also include an additional message that gives the user more information..

      {
        ...
        "assetModelProperties": [
          ...
          {
            "name": "additionalMessage",
            "dataType": "STRING",
            "type": {
              "attribute": {
                "defaultValue": "Turn off the power before you check the alarm."
              }
            }
          }
        ]
      }

5. Create the asset model or update the existing asset model. Do one of the following:

   • To create the asset model, run the following command.

     aws iotsitewise create-asset-model --cli-input-json file://asset-model-payload.json

   • To update the existing asset model, run the following command. Replace asset-model-id with the ID of the asset model.

     aws iotsitewise update-asset-model \
       --asset-model-id asset-model-id \
       --cli-input-json file://asset-model-payload.json

   After you run the command, note the assetModelId in the response.

To create an AWS IoT Events alarm model (CLI)

1. When you create the alarm model in AWS IoT Events, you must specify the ID of each property that the alarm uses, which includes the following:

   • The alarm state property in the composite asset model

   • The property that the alarm monitors

   • The threshold attribute

   • (Optional) The IAM Identity Center identity store ID attribute

   • (Optional) The IAM Identity Center user ID attribute

   • (Optional) The SMS sender ID attribute

   • (Optional) The email from address attribute

   • (Optional) The email subject attribute

   • (Optional) The additional message attribute

   Run the following command to retrieve the IDs of these properties on the asset model. Replace asset-model-id with the ID of the asset model from the previous step.

   aws iotsitewise describe-asset-model --asset-model-id asset-model-id

   The operation returns a response that contains the asset model's details. Note the ID of each property that the alarm uses. You use these IDs when you create the AWS IoT Events alarm model in the next step.

2. Create the alarm model in AWS IoT Events. Do the following:

   1. Create a file called alarm-model-payload.json.

   2. Copy the following JSON object into the file.

   3. Enter a name (alarmModelName), description (alarmModelDescription), and severity (severity) for your alarm. For severity, specify an integer that reflects your company's severity levels.

      Important

      The alarm model must have the same name as the alarm composite model that you defined on your asset model earlier.

      Alarm model names can contain only alphanumeric characters.

      {
        "alarmModelName": "BoilerTemperatureHighAlarm",
        "alarmModelDescription": "Detects when the boiler temperature is high.",
        "severity": 3
      }

   4. Add the comparison rule (alarmRule) to the alarm. This rule defines the property to monitor (inputProperty), the threshold value to compare (threshold), and the comparison operator to use (comparisonOperator).

      • Replace assetModelId with the ID of the asset model.

      • Replace alarmPropertyId with the ID of the property that the alarm monitors.

      • Replace thresholdAttributeId with the ID of the threshold attribute property.

      • Replace GREATER with the operator to use to compare the property values with the threshold. Choose from the following options:

        • LESS

        • LESS_OR_EQUAL

        • EQUAL

        • NOT_EQUAL

        • GREATER_OR_EQUAL

        • GREATER

      {
        "alarmModelName": "BoilerTemperatureHighAlarm",
        "alarmModelDescription": "Detects when the boiler temperature is high.",
        "severity": 3,
        "alarmRule": {
          "simpleRule": {
            "inputProperty": "$sitewise.assetModel.`assetModelId`.`alarmPropertyId`.propertyValue.value",
            "comparisonOperator": "GREATER",
            "threshold": "$sitewise.assetModel.`assetModelId`.`thresholdAttributeId`.propertyValue.value"
          }
        }
      }

   5. Add an action (alarmEventActions) to send alarm state to the AWS IoT SiteWise when the alarm changes state.

      Note

      For advanced configuration, you can define additional actions to perform when the alarm changes state. For example, you might call an AWS Lambda function or publish to an MQTT topic. For more information, see Working with other AWS services in the AWS IoT Events Developer Guide.

      • Replace assetModelId with the ID of the asset model.

      • Replace alarmPropertyId with the ID of the property that the alarm monitors.

      • Replace alarmStatePropertyId with the ID of the alarm state property in the alarm composite model.

      {
        "alarmModelName": "BoilerTemperatureHighAlarm",
        "alarmModelDescription": "Detects when the boiler temperature is high.",
        "severity": 3,
        "alarmRule": {
          "simpleRule": {
            "inputProperty": "$sitewise.assetModel.`assetModelId`.`alarmPropertyId`.propertyValue.value",
            "comparisonOperator": "GREATER",
            "threshold": "$sitewise.assetModel.`assetModelId`.`thresholdAttributeId`.propertyValue.value"
          }
        },
        "alarmEventActions": {
          "alarmActions": [
            {
              "iotSiteWise": {
                "assetId": "$sitewise.assetModel.`assetModelId`.`alarmPropertyId`.assetId",
                "propertyId": "'alarmStatePropertyId'"
              }
            }
          ]
        }
      }

   6. (Optional) Configure alarm notification settings. The alarm notification action uses a Lambda function in your account to send alarm notifications. For more information, see Requirements for alarm notifications in AWS IoT SiteWise. In the alarm notification settings, you can configure SMS and email notifications to send to IAM Identity Center users. Do the following:

      1. Add the alarm notification configuration (alarmNotification) to the payload in alarm-model-payload.json.

         • Replace alarmNotificationFunctionArn with the ARN of the Lambda function that handles alarm notifications.

         {
           "alarmModelName": "BoilerTemperatureHighAlarm",
           "alarmModelDescription": "Detects when the boiler temperature is high.",
           "severity": 3,
           "alarmRule": {
             "simpleRule": {
               "inputProperty": "$sitewise.assetModel.`assetModelId`.`alarmPropertyId`.propertyValue.value",
               "comparisonOperator": "GREATER",

          }
        }
      }

   8. Add the IAM service role (roleArn) that AWS IoT Events can assume to send data to AWS IoT SiteWise. This role requires the iotsitewise:BatchPutAssetPropertyValue permission and a trust relationship that allows iotevents.amazonaws.com to assume the role. To send notifications, this role also requires the lambda:InvokeFunction and sso-directory:DescribeUser permissions. For more information, see Alarm service roles in the AWS IoT Events Developer Guide.

      • Replace the roleArn with the ARN of the role that AWS IoT Events can assume to perform these actions.

   9. Run the following command to create the AWS IoT Events alarm model from the payload in alarm-model-payload.json.

      aws iotevents create-alarm-model --cli-input-json file://alarm-model-payload.json

   10. The operation returns a response that includes the ARN of the alarm model, alarmModelArn. Copy this ARN to set in the alarm definition on your asset model in the next step.

To enable data flow between AWS IoT SiteWise and AWS IoT Events (CLI)

• Set the alarm model as the alarm's source in the asset model. Do the following:

  1. Run the following command to retrieve the existing asset model definition. Replace asset-model-id with the ID of the asset model.

     aws iotsitewise describe-asset-model --asset-model-id asset-model-id

     The operation returns a response that contains the asset model's details.

  2. Create a file called update-asset-model-payload.json and copy the previous command's response into the file.

  3. Remove the following key-value pairs from the update-asset-model-payload.json file:

     • assetModelId

     • assetModelArn

     • assetModelCreationDate

     • assetModelLastUpdateDate

     • assetModelStatus

  4. Add the alarm source property (AWS/ALARM_SOURCE) to the alarm composite model that you defined earlier. Replace alarmModelArn with the ARN of the alarm model, which sets the value of the alarm source property.
