Get alarm information example

var client = new AmazonCloudWatchClient();

var request = new DescribeAlarmsRequest
{
  AlarmNames = new List<string>() 
    { "awseb-e-b36EXAMPLE-stack-CloudwatchAlarmLow-1KAKH4EXAMPLE" },
  MaxRecords = 1,
  StateValue = StateValue.ALARM
};

var response = new DescribeAlarmsResponse();

do
{
  response = client.DescribeAlarms(request);

  foreach (var alarm in response.MetricAlarms)
  {
    Console.WriteLine(alarm.AlarmName);
    Console.WriteLine(alarm.AlarmDescription);
    Console.WriteLine(alarm.MetricName + " " +
        alarm.ComparisonOperator + " " + alarm.Threshold);
    Console.WriteLine();
  }

  request.NextToken = response.NextToken;

} while (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(response.NextToken));
      

This example shows how to temporarily set an alarm's state.
