.NET Framework 4.5
 
Container for the parameters to the SetAlarmState operation. Temporarily sets the state of an alarm. When the updated StateValue differs from the previous value, the action configured for the appropriate state is invoked. For example, if your alarm is configured to send an Amazon SNS message when an alarm is triggered, temporarily changing the alarm's state to ALARM will send an Amazon SNS message. This is not a permanent change. The next periodic alarm check (in about a minute) will set the alarm to its actual state. Because the alarm state change happens very quickly, it is typically only visibile in the alarm's History tab in the Amazon CloudWatch console or through DescribeAlarmHistory.
