  • cloudwatch:EnableAlarmActions - turn alarm actions on

  • cloudwatch:DeleteAlarms - delete alarms

  1. Open the Storage Gateway console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/storagegateway/home/.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose Gateways, then choose the gateway for which you want to create recommended CloudWatch alarms.

  3. On the gateway details page, choose the Monitoring tab.
