Network.AWS.CloudWatch.PutMetricAlarm

Contents

Description

Creates or updates an alarm and associates it with the specified Amazon CloudWatch metric. Optionally, this operation can associate one or more Amazon Simple Notification Service resources with the alarm.

When this operation creates an alarm, the alarm state is immediately set to INSUFFICIENT_DATA. The alarm is evaluated and its StateValue is set appropriately. Any actions associated with the StateValue is then executed.

When updating an existing alarm, its StateValue is left unchanged.

If you are using an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) account to create or modify an alarm, you must have the following Amazon EC2 permissions:

  • 'ec2:DescribeInstanceStatus' and 'ec2:DescribeInstances' for all alarms on Amazon EC2 instance status metrics.
  • 'ec2:StopInstances' for alarms with stop actions.
  • 'ec2:TerminateInstances' for alarms with terminate actions.
  • 'ec2:DescribeInstanceRecoveryAttribute', and 'ec2:RecoverInstances' for alarms with recover actions.

If you have read/write permissions for Amazon CloudWatch but not for Amazon EC2, you can still create an alarm but the stop or terminate actions won't be performed on the Amazon EC2 instance. However, if you are later granted permission to use the associated Amazon EC2 APIs, the alarm actions you created earlier will be performed. For more information about IAM permissions, see Permissions and Policies in Using IAM.

If you are using an IAM role (e.g., an Amazon EC2 instance profile), you cannot stop or terminate the instance using alarm actions. However, you can still see the alarm state and perform any other actions such as Amazon SNS notifications or Auto Scaling policies.

If you are using temporary security credentials granted using the AWS Security Token Service (AWS STS), you cannot stop or terminate an Amazon EC2 instance using alarm actions.

pmaAlarmDescription :: Lens' PutMetricAlarm (Maybe Text) Source

The description for the alarm.

pmaOKActions :: Lens' PutMetricAlarm [Text] Source

The list of actions to execute when this alarm transitions into an OK state from any other state. Each action is specified as an Amazon Resource Name (ARN).

Valid Values: arn:aws:automate:region (e.g., us-east-1):ec2:stop | arn:aws:automate:region (e.g., us-east-1):ec2:terminate | arn:aws:automate:region (e.g., us-east-1):ec2:recover

Valid Values (for use with IAM roles): arn:aws:swf:us-east-1:{customer-account}:action/actions/AWS_EC2.InstanceId.Stop/1.0 | arn:aws:swf:us-east-1:{customer-account}:action/actions/AWS_EC2.InstanceId.Terminate/1.0 | arn:aws:swf:us-east-1:{customer-account}:action/actions/AWS_EC2.InstanceId.Reboot/1.0

Note: You must create at least one stop, terminate, or reboot alarm using the Amazon EC2 or CloudWatch console to create the EC2ActionsAccess IAM role for the first time. After this IAM role is created, you can create stop, terminate, or reboot alarms using the CLI.

pmaActionsEnabled :: Lens' PutMetricAlarm (Maybe Bool) Source

Indicates whether or not actions should be executed during any changes to the alarm's state.

pmaInsufficientDataActions :: Lens' PutMetricAlarm [Text] Source

The list of actions to execute when this alarm transitions into an INSUFFICIENT_DATA state from any other state. Each action is specified as an Amazon Resource Name (ARN).

Valid Values: arn:aws:automate:region (e.g., us-east-1):ec2:stop | arn:aws:automate:region (e.g., us-east-1):ec2:terminate | arn:aws:automate:region (e.g., us-east-1):ec2:recover

Valid Values (for use with IAM roles): arn:aws:swf:us-east-1:{customer-account}:action/actions/AWS_EC2.InstanceId.Stop/1.0 | arn:aws:swf:us-east-1:{customer-account}:action/actions/AWS_EC2.InstanceId.Terminate/1.0 | arn:aws:swf:us-east-1:{customer-account}:action/actions/AWS_EC2.InstanceId.Reboot/1.0

Note: You must create at least one stop, terminate, or reboot alarm using the Amazon EC2 or CloudWatch console to create the EC2ActionsAccess IAM role for the first time. After this IAM role is created, you can create stop, terminate, or reboot alarms using the CLI.

pmaDimensions :: Lens' PutMetricAlarm [Dimension] Source

The dimensions for the alarm's associated metric.

pmaAlarmActions :: Lens' PutMetricAlarm [Text] Source

The list of actions to execute when this alarm transitions into an ALARM state from any other state. Each action is specified as an Amazon Resource Name (ARN).

Valid Values: arn:aws:automate:region (e.g., us-east-1):ec2:stop | arn:aws:automate:region (e.g., us-east-1):ec2:terminate | arn:aws:automate:region (e.g., us-east-1):ec2:recover

Valid Values (for use with IAM roles): arn:aws:swf:us-east-1:{customer-account}:action/actions/AWS_EC2.InstanceId.Stop/1.0 | arn:aws:swf:us-east-1:{customer-account}:action/actions/AWS_EC2.InstanceId.Terminate/1.0 | arn:aws:swf:us-east-1:{customer-account}:action/actions/AWS_EC2.InstanceId.Reboot/1.0

Note: You must create at least one stop, terminate, or reboot alarm using the Amazon EC2 or CloudWatch console to create the EC2ActionsAccess IAM role for the first time. After this IAM role is created, you can create stop, terminate, or reboot alarms using the CLI.

pmaUnit :: Lens' PutMetricAlarm (Maybe StandardUnit) Source

The statistic's unit of measure. For example, the units for the Amazon EC2 NetworkIn metric are Bytes because NetworkIn tracks the number of bytes that an instance receives on all network interfaces. You can also specify a unit when you create a custom metric. Units help provide conceptual meaning to your data. Metric data points that specify a unit of measure, such as Percent, are aggregated separately.

Note: If you specify a unit, you must use a unit that is appropriate for the metric. Otherwise, this can cause an Amazon CloudWatch alarm to get stuck in the INSUFFICIENT DATA state.

pmaAlarmName :: Lens' PutMetricAlarm Text Source

The descriptive name for the alarm. This name must be unique within the user's AWS account

pmaMetricName :: Lens' PutMetricAlarm Text Source

The name for the alarm's associated metric.

pmaNamespace :: Lens' PutMetricAlarm Text Source

The namespace for the alarm's associated metric.

pmaStatistic :: Lens' PutMetricAlarm Statistic Source

The statistic to apply to the alarm's associated metric.

pmaPeriod :: Lens' PutMetricAlarm Natural Source

The period in seconds over which the specified statistic is applied.

pmaEvaluationPeriods :: Lens' PutMetricAlarm Natural Source

The number of periods over which data is compared to the specified threshold.

pmaThreshold :: Lens' PutMetricAlarm Double Source

The value against which the specified statistic is compared.

pmaComparisonOperator :: Lens' PutMetricAlarm ComparisonOperator Source

The arithmetic operation to use when comparing the specified Statistic and Threshold. The specified Statistic value is used as the first operand.

Destructuring the Response

putMetricAlarmResponse :: PutMetricAlarmResponse Source

Creates a value of PutMetricAlarmResponse with the minimum fields required to make a request.
