## Create rules

`magic_network_monitoring.rules.create(RuleCreateParams**kwargs)  -> MagicNetworkMonitoringRule`

**post** `/accounts/{account_id}/mnm/rules`

Create network monitoring rules for account. Currently only supports creating a single rule per API request.

### Parameters

- `account_id: str`

- `duration: Literal["1m", "5m", "10m", 5 more]`

  The amount of time that the rule threshold must be exceeded to send an alert notification. The final value must be equivalent to one of the following 8 values ["1m","5m","10m","15m","20m","30m","45m","60m"].

  - `"1m"`

  - `"5m"`

  - `"10m"`

  - `"15m"`

  - `"20m"`

  - `"30m"`

  - `"45m"`

  - `"60m"`

- `name: str`

  The name of the rule. Must be unique. Supports characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9, underscore (_), dash (-), period (.), and tilde (~). You can’t have a space in the rule name. Max 256 characters.

- `automatic_advertisement: Optional[bool]`

  Toggle on if you would like Cloudflare to automatically advertise the IP Prefixes within the rule via Magic Transit when the rule is triggered. Only available for users of Magic Transit.

- `bandwidth: Optional[float]`

  The number of bits per second for the rule. When this value is exceeded for the set duration, an alert notification is sent. Minimum of 1 and no maximum.

- `packet_threshold: Optional[float]`

  The number of packets per second for the rule. When this value is exceeded for the set duration, an alert notification is sent. Minimum of 1 and no maximum.

- `prefixes: Optional[SequenceNotStr[str]]`

### Returns

- `class MagicNetworkMonitoringRule: …`

  - `automatic_advertisement: Optional[bool]`

    Toggle on if you would like Cloudflare to automatically advertise the IP Prefixes within the rule via Magic Transit when the rule is triggered. Only available for users of Magic Transit.

  - `name: str`

    The name of the rule. Must be unique. Supports characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9, underscore (_), dash (-), period (.), and tilde (~). You can’t have a space in the rule name. Max 256 characters.

  - `prefixes: List[str]`

  - `type: Literal["threshold", "zscore", "advanced_ddos"]`

    MNM rule type.

    - `"threshold"`

    - `"zscore"`

    - `"advanced_ddos"`

  - `id: Optional[str]`

    The id of the rule. Must be unique.

  - `bandwidth_threshold: Optional[float]`

    The number of bits per second for the rule. When this value is exceeded for the set duration, an alert notification is sent. Minimum of 1 and no maximum.

  - `duration: Optional[Literal["1m", "5m", "10m", 5 more]]`

    The amount of time that the rule threshold must be exceeded to send an alert notification. The final value must be equivalent to one of the following 8 values ["1m","5m","10m","15m","20m","30m","45m","60m"].

    - `"1m"`

    - `"5m"`

    - `"10m"`

    - `"15m"`

    - `"20m"`

    - `"30m"`

    - `"45m"`

    - `"60m"`

  - `packet_threshold: Optional[float]`

    The number of packets per second for the rule. When this value is exceeded for the set duration, an alert notification is sent. Minimum of 1 and no maximum.

  - `prefix_match: Optional[Literal["exact", "subnet", "supernet"]]`

    Prefix match type to be applied for a prefix auto advertisement when using an advanced_ddos rule.

    - `"exact"`

    - `"subnet"`

    - `"supernet"`

  - `zscore_sensitivity: Optional[Literal["low", "medium", "high"]]`

    Level of sensitivity set for zscore rules.

    - `"low"`

    - `"medium"`

    - `"high"`

  - `zscore_target: Optional[Literal["bits", "packets"]]`

    Target of the zscore rule analysis.

    - `"bits"`

    - `"packets"`

### Example

```python
import os
from cloudflare import Cloudflare

client = Cloudflare(
    api_email=os.environ.get("CLOUDFLARE_EMAIL"),  # This is the default and can be omitted
    api_key=os.environ.get("CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY"),  # This is the default and can be omitted
)
magic_network_monitoring_rule = client.magic_network_monitoring.rules.create(
    account_id="6f91088a406011ed95aed352566e8d4c",
    duration="1m",
    name="my_rule_1",
