Creating an alarm
Alarms you create in the Amazon Redshift console are CloudWatch alarms. They are useful because
they help you make proactive decisions about your cluster or serverless instance. You
can set one or more alarms on any of the metrics listed in Performance data in Amazon Redshift. For example, setting an
alarm for high CPUUtilization
on a cluster node helps indicate when the
node is overutilized. An alarm for high DataStorage
would keep track of the
storage space that your serverless namespace is using for your data.
From Actions, you can modify or delete alarms. You can also create a chime or slack alert to send an alert from CloudWatch to Slack or Amazon Chime by specifying a Slack or Amazon Chime webhook URL.
