Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Editing your alert preferences

You can adjust your cost monitors and alert subscriptions in Amazon Billing and Cost Management to match your needs.

You can also edit your notification configurations in Amazon User Notifications.

Note

When using Amazon managed monitors, consider that a single threshold applies to all tracked values. If you need different alert thresholds for different teams or accounts, you can:

  • Create supplementary customer managed monitors with dedicated alert subscriptions with specific thresholds

  • Use Amazon User Notifications to filter and route alerts based on anomaly attributes

  • Configure Amazon Amazon SNS topics with custom logic for alert routing
