Responding to alarms

When an Amazon IoT Events alarm changes state, you can do the following to respond to the alarm:

  • Acknowledge an alarm to indicate that you are handling the issue.

  • Snooze an alarm to disable it temporarily.

  • Disable an alarm to disable it permanently until you enable it again.

  • Enable a disabled alarm to detect alarm state.

  • Reset an alarm to clear its state and latest value.

You can use the Amazon IoT SiteWise console or the Amazon IoT Events API to respond to an alarm.

Note

You can respond to Amazon IoT Events alarms, but not external alarms.
