Create subscription alert​

This endpoint is used to create alerts at the subscription level.

Subscription level alerts can be one of two types: usage_exceeded or cost_exceeded. A usage_exceeded alert is scoped to a particular metric and is triggered when the usage of that metric exceeds predefined thresholds during the current billing cycle. A cost_exceeded alert is triggered when the total amount due during the current billing cycle surpasses predefined thresholds. cost_exceeded alerts do not include burndown of pre-purchase credits. Each subscription can have one cost_exceeded alert and one usage_exceeded alert per metric that is a part of the subscription. Alerts are triggered based on usage or cost conditions met during the current billing cycle.
