Container for the parameters to the DescribeAlarmHistory operation. Retrieves the history for the specified alarm. You can filter the results by date range or item type. If an alarm name is not specified, the histories for either all metric alarms or all composite alarms are returned.

CloudWatch retains the history of an alarm even if you delete the alarm.

To use this operation and return information about a composite alarm, you must be signed on with the cloudwatch:DescribeAlarmHistory permission that is scoped to *. You can't return information about composite alarms if your cloudwatch:DescribeAlarmHistory permission has a narrower scope.

  response = client.DescribeAlarmHistory(request);

  foreach (var item in response.AlarmHistoryItems)
  {
    Console.WriteLine(item.AlarmName);
