You cannot create alarms for cloned virtual machines that are part of a scaling group. This is because Abiquo will automatically apply the metrics from the base machine, that will be considered in the activation of the alarms from the base machine.
How do metrics and alarms work with scaling groups?
Abiquo will automatically apply the same metrics configuration from the base machine to the clone machines. And Abiquo will automatically consider the metrics from all of the virtual machines as a group, and use these metrics to determine if the alarms in the base machine should activate. This means that even if the base machine is undeployed, an alarm in the base machine can still activate, based on the performance of the clone group.
