Use DeleteAnomalyDetector with an AWS SDK or CLI

Focus mode
Use DeleteAnomalyDetector with an AWS SDK or CLI - Amazon CloudWatch

The following code examples show how to use DeleteAnomalyDetector.

Action examples are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. You can see this action in context in the following code example:

/// <summary> /// Delete a single metric anomaly detector. /// </summary> /// <param name="anomalyDetector">The anomaly detector to delete.</param> /// <returns>True if successful.</returns> public async Task<bool> DeleteAnomalyDetector(SingleMetricAnomalyDetector anomalyDetector) { var deleteAnomalyDetectorResponse = await _amazonCloudWatch.DeleteAnomalyDetectorAsync( new DeleteAnomalyDetectorRequest() { SingleMetricAnomalyDetector = anomalyDetector }); return deleteAnomalyDetectorResponse.HttpStatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK; }
CLI
AWS CLI

To delete a specified anomaly detection model

The following delete-anomaly-detector example deletes an anomaly detector model in the specified account.

aws cloudwatch delete-anomaly-detector \ --namespace AWS/Logs \ --metric-name IncomingBytes \ --stat SampleCount

This command produces no output.

For more information, see Deleting an anomaly detection model in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide.
