#### _ **Product/components** used and **version/fix** level:_

Backend: **1020.296.0**  
UI: **1011.0.4**

#### _Detailed explanation of the problem:_

Hi it’s Luca,  
we would like to use Smartrules to produce alarms directly on the platform.  
The scenario we want to implement is the following:

 ![desiderataAlarms](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/cumulocity/original/3X/7/4/749508696f946bce8d2693a66c6f26ebc90d8826.png)

The horizontal dashed lines represent the thresholds for the critical and minor alarms.

We played with [this](https://cumulocity.com/docs/cockpit/smart-rules-collection/#on-measurement-explicit-threshold-create-alarm) rule but it doesnt allow to set thresholds for minor alarms.

We also tried “[On measurement threshold create alarm](https://cumulocity.com/docs/cockpit/smart-rules-collection/#on-measurement-threshold-create-alarm)” but it defines ranges not thresholds.

Any other idea??

Best  
Luca

Probably best would be a Streaming Analytics EPL. There is an Example…

Thanks Robert for your answer, could you provide me the link to that part of the docs?

Hey Luca,

for EPL Apps find the docs here:

> **[Introduction - Cumulocity documentation](https://cumulocity.com/docs/streaming-analytics/introduction-analytics/#apama-epl-apps)**
>
> This documentation offers comprehensive information on the Cumulocity platform both from a user and from a developer perspective. It reflects the latest state of the Cumulocity platform and is continuously updated to align with recent software...

you might also try Analytics Builder for that usecase:

> **[Analytics Builder - Cumulocity documentation](https://cumulocity.com/docs/streaming-analytics/analytics-builder/#getting-started)**
>
> This documentation offers comprehensive information on the Cumulocity platform both from a user and from a developer perspective. It reflects the latest state of the Cumulocity platform and is continuously updated to align with recent software...

KInd Regards,

Marco

There is the documentation and when you create an EPL in the Streaming Analytics application, you can select Examples which will give you the necessary code to use.
