Constructors

	Name	Description
	MetricAlarm()

Properties

Name	Type	Description
ActionsEnabled	System.Boolean	Gets and sets the property ActionsEnabled. Indicates whether actions should be executed during any changes to the alarm state.
AlarmActions	System.Collections.Generic.List<System.String>	Gets and sets the property AlarmActions. The actions to execute when this alarm transitions to the `ALARM` state from any other state. Each action is specified as an Amazon Resource Name (ARN).
AlarmArn	System.String	Gets and sets the property AlarmArn. The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the alarm.
AlarmConfigurationUpdatedTimestamp	System.DateTime	Gets and sets the property AlarmConfigurationUpdatedTimestamp. The time stamp of the last update to the alarm configuration.
AlarmDescription	System.String	Gets and sets the property AlarmDescription. The description of the alarm.
AlarmName	System.String	Gets and sets the property AlarmName. The name of the alarm.
ComparisonOperator	Amazon.CloudWatch.ComparisonOperator	Gets and sets the property ComparisonOperator. The arithmetic operation to use when comparing the specified statistic and threshold. The specified statistic value is used as the first operand.
DatapointsToAlarm	System.Int32	Gets and sets the property DatapointsToAlarm. The number of data points that must be breaching to trigger the alarm.
Dimensions	System.Collections.Generic.List<Amazon.CloudWatch.Model.Dimension>	Gets and sets the property Dimensions. The dimensions for the metric associated with the alarm.
EvaluateLowSampleCountPercentile	System.String	Gets and sets the property EvaluateLowSampleCountPercentile. Used only for alarms based on percentiles. If `ignore`, the alarm state does not change during periods with too few data points to be statistically significant. If `evaluate` or this parameter is not used, the alarm is always evaluated and possibly changes state no matter how many data points are available.
EvaluationPeriods	System.Int32	Gets and sets the property EvaluationPeriods. The number of periods over which data is compared to the specified threshold.
EvaluationState	Amazon.CloudWatch.EvaluationState	Gets and sets the property EvaluationState. If the value of this field is `PARTIAL_DATA`, the alarm is being evaluated based on only partial data. This happens if the query used for the alarm returns more than 10,000 metrics. For more information, see Create alarms on Metrics Insights queries.
ExtendedStatistic	System.String	Gets and sets the property ExtendedStatistic. The percentile statistic for the metric associated with the alarm. Specify a value between p0.0 and p100.
InsufficientDataActions	System.Collections.Generic.List<System.String>	Gets and sets the property InsufficientDataActions. The actions to execute when this alarm transitions to the `INSUFFICIENT_DATA` state from any other state. Each action is specified as an Amazon Resource Name (ARN).
MetricName	System.String	Gets and sets the property MetricName. The name of the metric associated with the alarm, if this is an alarm based on a single metric.
Metrics	System.Collections.Generic.List<Amazon.CloudWatch.Model.MetricDataQuery>	Gets and sets the property Metrics. An array of MetricDataQuery structures, used in an alarm based on a metric math expression. Each structure either retrieves a metric or performs a math expression. One item in the Metrics array is the math expression that the alarm watches. This expression by designated by having `ReturnData` set to true.
Namespace	System.String	Gets and sets the property Namespace. The namespace of the metric associated with the alarm.
OKActions	System.Collections.Generic.List<System.String>	Gets and sets the property OKActions. The actions to execute when this alarm transitions to the `OK` state from any other state. Each action is specified as an Amazon Resource Name (ARN).
Period	System.Int32	Gets and sets the property Period. The period, in seconds, over which the statistic is applied.
StateReason	System.String	Gets and sets the property StateReason. An explanation for the alarm state, in text format.
StateReasonData	System.String	Gets and sets the property StateReasonData. An explanation for the alarm state, in JSON format.
StateTransitionedTimestamp	System.DateTime	Gets and sets the property StateTransitionedTimestamp. The date and time that the alarm's `StateValue` most recently changed.
StateUpdatedTimestamp	System.DateTime	Gets and sets the property StateUpdatedTimestamp. The time stamp of the last update to the value of either the `StateValue` or `EvaluationState` parameters.
StateValue	Amazon.CloudWatch.StateValue	Gets and sets the property StateValue. The state value for the alarm.
Statistic	Amazon.CloudWatch.Statistic	Gets and sets the property Statistic. The statistic for the metric associated with the alarm, other than percentile. For percentile statistics, use `ExtendedStatistic`.
Threshold	System.Double	Gets and sets the property Threshold. The value to compare with the specified statistic.
ThresholdMetricId	System.String	Gets and sets the property ThresholdMetricId. In an alarm based on an anomaly detection model, this is the ID of the `ANOMALY_DETECTION_BAND` function used as the threshold for the alarm.
TreatMissingData	System.String	Gets and sets the property TreatMissingData. Sets how this alarm is to handle missing data points. The valid values are `breaching`, `notBreaching`, `ignore`, and `missing`. For more information, see Configuring how CloudWatch alarms treat missing data. If this parameter is omitted, the default behavior of `missing` is used.
Unit	Amazon.CloudWatch.StandardUnit	Gets and sets the property Unit. The unit of the metric associated with the alarm.

Examples

This example shows how to get information about an alarm.

Get alarm information example

var client = new AmazonCloudWatchClient();

var request = new DescribeAlarmsRequest
{
  AlarmNames = new List<string>() 
    { "awseb-e-b36EXAMPLE-stack-CloudwatchAlarmLow-1KAKH4EXAMPLE" },
  MaxRecords = 1,
  StateValue = StateValue.ALARM
};

var response = new DescribeAlarmsResponse();

do
{
  response = client.DescribeAlarms(request);

  foreach (var alarm in response.MetricAlarms)
  {
    Console.WriteLine(alarm.AlarmName);
    Console.WriteLine(alarm.AlarmDescription);
    Console.WriteLine(alarm.MetricName + " " +
        alarm.ComparisonOperator + " " + alarm.Threshold);
    Console.WriteLine();
  }

  request.NextToken = response.NextToken;

} while (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(response.NextToken));
