# Configuring Alarm Policies for a Zone

Alarm policies vary with Zones.

#### Context

The alarm severity of Zones also varies with scenarios. You can set alarm severity parameters of Zones for differentiated alarms.

The alarm severity falls into:

- Urgent
- Major
- Minor
- Warning

The default severity of alarms reported by the Genie is Major, and the action matches the Major severity.

#### Procedure

1. Choose Defense > Policy Settings > Zone.
2. Click in the Operation column of the Zone list.
3. Table 1 describes parameters of alarm policies for user-defined Zones.

   Table 1 Parameters of user-defined alarm severity rules
   Parameter | Description
   --- | ---
   Incoming Traffic (Mbit/s) | Incoming traffic bandwidth of a single IP address per second.
   Incoming Traffic (pps) | Incoming packets per second
   Duration | Attack or anomaly duration
   Action | Select No action or Start Flowspec. Alarm action that varies with the alarm severity

   An alarm is triggered if one of the previous conditions is met.

4. Set alarms in batches.

   If you need to configure alarm policies for multiple Zones, select these Zones and click to set alarms in batches.

   Table 2 Parameters of batched user-defined alarm severity rules
