CfnAlarm

class aws_cdk.aws_cloudwatch.CfnAlarm(scope, id, *, comparison_operator, evaluation_periods, actions_enabled=None, alarm_actions=None, alarm_description=None, alarm_name=None, datapoints_to_alarm=None, dimensions=None, evaluate_low_sample_count_percentile=None, extended_statistic=None, insufficient_data_actions=None, metric_name=None, metrics=None, namespace=None, ok_actions=None, period=None, statistic=None, threshold=None, threshold_metric_id=None, treat_missing_data=None, unit=None)

Bases: CfnResource

A CloudFormation AWS::CloudWatch::Alarm.

The AWS::CloudWatch::Alarm type specifies an alarm and associates it with the specified metric or metric math expression.

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

When you update an existing alarm, its state is left unchanged, but the update completely overwrites the previous configuration of the alarm.

Create a new AWS::CloudWatch::Alarm.

Parameters:
  • scope (Construct) –

    • scope in which this resource is defined.

  • id (str) –

    • scoped id of the resource.

  • comparison_operator (str) – The arithmetic operation to use when comparing the specified statistic and threshold. The specified statistic value is used as the first operand. You can specify the following values: GreaterThanThreshold , GreaterThanOrEqualToThreshold , LessThanThreshold , or LessThanOrEqualToThreshold .

  • evaluation_periods (Union[int, float]) – The number of periods over which data is compared to the specified threshold. If you are setting an alarm that requires that a number of consecutive data points be breaching to trigger the alarm, this value specifies that number. If you are setting an “M out of N” alarm, this value is the N, and DatapointsToAlarm is the M. For more information, see Evaluating an Alarm in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide .

  • actions_enabled (Union[bool, IResolvable, None]) – Indicates whether actions should be executed during any changes to the alarm state. The default is TRUE.

  • alarm_actions (Optional[Sequence[str]]) – The list of actions to execute when this alarm transitions into an ALARM state from any other state. Specify each action as an Amazon Resource Name (ARN). For more information about creating alarms and the actions that you can specify, see PutMetricAlarm in the Amazon CloudWatch API Reference .

  • alarm_description (Optional[str]) – The description of the alarm.

  • alarm_name (Optional[str]) – The name of the alarm. If you don’t specify a name, AWS CloudFormation generates a unique physical ID and uses that ID for the alarm name. .. epigraph:: If you specify a name, you cannot perform updates that require replacement of this resource. You can perform updates that require no or some interruption. If you must replace the resource, specify a new name.

  • datapoints_to_alarm (Union[int, float, None]) –

    The number of datapoints that must be breaching to trigger the alarm. This is used only if you are setting an “M out of N” alarm. In that case, this value is the M, and the value that you set for EvaluationPeriods is the N value. For more information, see Evaluating an Alarm in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide . If you omit this parameter, CloudWatch uses the same value here that you set for EvaluationPeriods , and the alarm goes to alarm state if that many consecutive periods are breaching.

  • dimensions (Union[IResolvable, Sequence[Union[IResolvable, DimensionProperty, Dict[str, Any]]], None]) – The dimensions for the metric associated with the alarm. For an alarm based on a math expression, you can’t specify Dimensions . Instead, you use Metrics .

  • evaluate_low_sample_count_percentile (Optional[str]) – Used only for alarms based on percentiles. If ignore , the alarm state does not change during periods with too few data points to be statistically significant. If evaluate or this parameter is not used, the alarm is always evaluated and possibly changes state no matter how many data points are available.

  • extended_statistic (Optional[str]) – The percentile statistic for the metric associated with the alarm. Specify a value between p0.0 and p100. For an alarm based on a metric, you must specify either Statistic or ExtendedStatistic but not both. For an alarm based on a math expression, you can’t specify ExtendedStatistic . Instead, you use Metrics .

  • metric_name (Optional[str]) – The name of the metric associated with the alarm. This is required for an alarm based on a metric. For an alarm based on a math expression, you use Metrics instead and you can’t specify MetricName .

  • metrics (Union[IResolvable, Sequence[Union[IResolvable, MetricDataQueryProperty, Dict[str, Any]]], None]) – An array that enables you to create an alarm based on the result of a metric math expression. Each item in the array either retrieves a metric or performs a math expression. If you specify the Metrics parameter, you cannot specify MetricName , Dimensions , Period , Namespace , Statistic , ExtendedStatistic , or Unit .

  • namespace (Optional[str]) – The namespace of the metric associated with the alarm. This is required for an alarm based on a metric. For an alarm based on a math expression, you can’t specify Namespace and you use Metrics instead. For a list of namespaces for metrics from AWS services, see AWS Services That Publish CloudWatch Metrics.

  • ok_actions (Optional[Sequence[str]]) – The actions to execute when this alarm transitions to the OK state from any other state. Each action is specified as an Amazon Resource Name (ARN).

  • period (Union[int, float, None]) – The period, in seconds, over which the statistic is applied. This is required for an alarm based on a metric. Valid values are 10, 30, 60, and any multiple of 60. For an alarm based on a math expression, you can’t specify Period , and instead you use the Metrics parameter. Minimum: 10

  • statistic (Optional[str]) – The statistic for the metric associated with the alarm, other than percentile. For percentile statistics, use ExtendedStatistic . For an alarm based on a metric, you must specify either Statistic or ExtendedStatistic but not both. For an alarm based on a math expression, you can’t specify Statistic . Instead, you use Metrics .

  • threshold (Union[int, float, None]) – The value to compare with the specified statistic.

  • threshold_metric_id (Optional[str]) – In an alarm based on an anomaly detection model, this is the ID of the ANOMALY_DETECTION_BAND function used as the threshold for the alarm.

  • treat_missing_data (Optional[str]) – Sets how this alarm is to handle missing data points. Valid values are breaching , notBreaching , ignore , and missing . For more information, see Configuring How CloudWatch Alarms Treat Missing Data in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide . If you omit this parameter, the default behavior of missing is used.

  • unit (Optional[str]) – The unit of the metric associated with the alarm. Specify this only if you are creating an alarm based on a single metric. Do not specify this if you are specifying a Metrics array. You can specify the following values: Seconds, Microseconds, Milliseconds, Bytes, Kilobytes, Megabytes, Gigabytes, Terabytes, Bits, Kilobits, Megabits, Gigabits, Terabits, Percent, Count, Bytes/Second, Kilobytes/Second, Megabytes/Second, Gigabytes/Second, Terabytes/Second, Bits/Second, Kilobits/Second, Megabits/Second, Gigabits/Second, Terabits/Second, Count/Second, or None.

Methods

add_deletion_override(path)

Syntactic sugar for addOverride(path, undefined).

Parameters:

path (str) – The path of the value to delete.

Return type:

None

add_depends_on(target)

Indicates that this resource depends on another resource and cannot be provisioned unless the other resource has been successfully provisioned.

This can be used for resources across stacks (or nested stack) boundaries and the dependency will automatically be transferred to the relevant scope.

Parameters:

target (CfnResource) –

Return type:

None

add_metadata(key, value)

Add a value to the CloudFormation Resource Metadata.

Parameters:
  • key (str) –

  • value (Any) –

See:

Return type:

None

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/metadata-section-structure.html

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.

add_override(path, value)

Adds an override to the synthesized CloudFormation resource.

To add a property override, either use addPropertyOverride or prefix path with “Properties.” (i.e. Properties.TopicName).

If the override is nested, separate each nested level using a dot (.) in the path parameter. If there is an array as part of the nesting, specify the index in the path.

To include a literal . in the property name, prefix with a \. In most programming languages you will need to write this as "\\." because the \ itself will need to be escaped.

For example:

cfn_resource.add_override("Properties.GlobalSecondaryIndexes.0.Projection.NonKeyAttributes", ["myattribute"])
cfn_resource.add_override("Properties.GlobalSecondaryIndexes.1.ProjectionType", "INCLUDE")

would add the overrides Example:

"Properties": {
   "GlobalSecondaryIndexes": [
     {
       "Projection": {
         "NonKeyAttributes": [ "myattribute" ]
         ...
       }
       ...
     },
     {
       "ProjectionType": "INCLUDE"
       ...
     },
   ]
   ...
}

The value argument to addOverride will not be processed or translated in any way. Pass raw JSON values in here with the correct capitalization for CloudFormation. If you pass CDK classes or structs, they will be rendered with lowercased key names, and CloudFormation will reject the template.

Parameters:
  • path (str) –

    • The path of the property, you can use dot notation to override values in complex types. Any intermdediate keys will be created as needed.

  • value (Any) –

    • The value. Could be primitive or complex.

Return type:

None

add_property_deletion_override(property_path)

Adds an override that deletes the value of a property from the resource definition.

Parameters:

property_path (str) – The path to the property.

Return type:

None

add_property_override(property_path, value)

Adds an override to a resource property.

Syntactic sugar for addOverride("Properties.<...>", value).

Parameters:
  • property_path (str) – The path of the property.

  • value (Any) – The value.

Return type:

None

apply_removal_policy(policy=None, *, apply_to_update_replace_policy=None, default=None)

Sets the deletion policy of the resource based on the removal policy specified.

The Removal Policy controls what happens to this resource when it stops being managed by CloudFormation, either because you’ve removed it from the CDK application or because you’ve made a change that requires the resource to be replaced.

The resource can be deleted (RemovalPolicy.DESTROY), or left in your AWS account for data recovery and cleanup later (RemovalPolicy.RETAIN).

Parameters:
  • policy (Optional[RemovalPolicy]) –

  • apply_to_update_replace_policy (Optional[bool]) – Apply the same deletion policy to the resource’s “UpdateReplacePolicy”. Default: true

  • default (Optional[RemovalPolicy]) – The default policy to apply in case the removal policy is not defined. Default: - Default value is resource specific. To determine the default value for a resoure, please consult that specific resource’s documentation.

Return type:

None

get_att(attribute_name)

Returns a token for an runtime attribute of this resource.

Ideally, use generated attribute accessors (e.g. resource.arn), but this can be used for future compatibility in case there is no generated attribute.

Parameters:

attribute_name (str) – The name of the attribute.

Return type:

Reference

get_metadata(key)

Retrieve a value value from the CloudFormation Resource Metadata.

Parameters:

key (str) –

See:

Return type:

Any

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/metadata-section-structure.html

MetricDataQueryProperty

class CfnAlarm.MetricDataQueryProperty(*, id, account_id=None, expression=None, label=None, metric_stat=None, period=None, return_data=None)

Bases: object

The MetricDataQuery property type specifies the metric data to return, and whether this call is just retrieving a batch set of data for one metric, or is performing a math expression on metric data.

Any expression used must return a single time series. For more information, see Metric Math Syntax and Functions in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide .

Parameters:
  • id (str) – A short name used to tie this object to the results in the response. This name must be unique within a single call to GetMetricData . If you are performing math expressions on this set of data, this name represents that data and can serve as a variable in the mathematical expression. The valid characters are letters, numbers, and underscore. The first character must be a lowercase letter.

  • account_id (Optional[str]) – The ID of the account where the metrics are located, if this is a cross-account alarm.

  • expression (Optional[str]) –

    The math expression to be performed on the returned data, if this object is performing a math expression. This expression can use the Id of the other metrics to refer to those metrics, and can also use the Id of other expressions to use the result of those expressions. For more information about metric math expressions, see Metric Math Syntax and Functions in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide . Within each MetricDataQuery object, you must specify either Expression or MetricStat but not both.

  • label (Optional[str]) – A human-readable label for this metric or expression. This is especially useful if this is an expression, so that you know what the value represents. If the metric or expression is shown in a CloudWatch dashboard widget, the label is shown. If Label is omitted, CloudWatch generates a default.

  • metric_stat (Union[IResolvable, MetricStatProperty, Dict[str, Any], None]) – The metric to be returned, along with statistics, period, and units. Use this parameter only if this object is retrieving a metric and not performing a math expression on returned data. Within one MetricDataQuery object, you must specify either Expression or MetricStat but not both.

  • period (Union[int, float, None]) – The granularity, in seconds, of the returned data points. For metrics with regular resolution, a period can be as short as one minute (60 seconds) and must be a multiple of 60. For high-resolution metrics that are collected at intervals of less than one minute, the period can be 1, 5, 10, 30, 60, or any multiple of 60. High-resolution metrics are those metrics stored by a PutMetricData operation that includes a StorageResolution of 1 second .

  • return_data (Union[bool, IResolvable, None]) – This option indicates whether to return the timestamps and raw data values of this metric. When you create an alarm based on a metric math expression, specify True for this value for only the one math expression that the alarm is based on. You must specify False for ReturnData for all the other metrics and expressions used in the alarm. This field is required.

Attributes

account_id

The ID of the account where the metrics are located, if this is a cross-account alarm.

Link:

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-cloudwatch-alarm-metricdataquery.html#cfn-cloudwatch-alarm-metricdataquery-accountid

expression

The math expression to be performed on the returned data, if this object is performing a math expression.

This expression can use the Id of the other metrics to refer to those metrics, and can also use the Id of other expressions to use the result of those expressions. For more information about metric math expressions, see Metric Math Syntax and Functions in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide .

Within each MetricDataQuery object, you must specify either Expression or MetricStat but not both.

Link:

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-cloudwatch-alarm-metricdataquery.html#cfn-cloudwatch-alarm-metricdataquery-expression

id

A short name used to tie this object to the results in the response.

This name must be unique within a single call to GetMetricData . If you are performing math expressions on this set of data, this name represents that data and can serve as a variable in the mathematical expression. The valid characters are letters, numbers, and underscore. The first character must be a lowercase letter.

Link:

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-cloudwatch-alarm-metricdataquery.html#cfn-cloudwatch-alarm-metricdataquery-id

label

A human-readable label for this metric or expression.

This is especially useful if this is an expression, so that you know what the value represents. If the metric or expression is shown in a CloudWatch dashboard widget, the label is shown. If Label is omitted, CloudWatch generates a default.

Link:

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-cloudwatch-alarm-metricdataquery.html#cfn-cloudwatch-alarm-metricdataquery-label

metric_stat

The metric to be returned, along with statistics, period, and units.

Use this parameter only if this object is retrieving a metric and not performing a math expression on returned data.

Within one MetricDataQuery object, you must specify either Expression or MetricStat but not both.

Link:

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-cloudwatch-alarm-metricdataquery.html#cfn-cloudwatch-alarm-metricdataquery-metricstat

period

The granularity, in seconds, of the returned data points.

For metrics with regular resolution, a period can be as short as one minute (60 seconds) and must be a multiple of 60. For high-resolution metrics that are collected at intervals of less than one minute, the period can be 1, 5, 10, 30, 60, or any multiple of 60. High-resolution metrics are those metrics stored by a PutMetricData operation that includes a StorageResolution of 1 second .

MetricStatProperty

class CfnAlarm.MetricStatProperty(*, metric, period, stat, unit=None)

Bases: object

This structure defines the metric to be returned, along with the statistics, period, and units.

MetricStat is a property of the MetricDataQuery property type.

Parameters:
  • metric (Union[IResolvable, MetricProperty, Dict[str, Any]]) – The metric to return, including the metric name, namespace, and dimensions.

  • period (Union[int, float]) – The granularity, in seconds, of the returned data points. For metrics with regular resolution, a period can be as short as one minute (60 seconds) and must be a multiple of 60. For high-resolution metrics that are collected at intervals of less than one minute, the period can be 1, 5, 10, 30, 60, or any multiple of 60. High-resolution metrics are those metrics stored by a PutMetricData call that includes a StorageResolution of 1 second. If the StartTime parameter specifies a time stamp that is greater than 3 hours ago, you must specify the period as follows or no data points in that time range is returned: - Start time between 3 hours and 15 days ago - Use a multiple of 60 seconds (1 minute). - Start time between 15 and 63 days ago - Use a multiple of 300 seconds (5 minutes). - Start time greater than 63 days ago - Use a multiple of 3600 seconds (1 hour).

  • stat (str) – The statistic to return. It can include any CloudWatch statistic or extended statistic. For a list of valid values, see the table in Statistics in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide .

  • unit (Optional[str]) – The unit to use for the returned data points. Valid values are: Seconds, Microseconds, Milliseconds, Bytes, Kilobytes, Megabytes, Gigabytes, Terabytes, Bits, Kilobits, Megabits, Gigabits, Terabits, Percent, Count, Bytes/Second, Kilobytes/Second, Megabytes/Second, Gigabytes/Second, Terabytes/Second, Bits/Second, Kilobits/Second, Megabits/Second, Gigabits/Second, Terabits/Second, Count/Second, or None.
