AWS Amazon CloudWatch CLI Commands

Deletes a specific alarm mute rule. When you delete a mute rule, any alarms that are currently being muted by that rule are immediately unmuted. If those alarms are in an ALARM state, their configured actions will trigger. This operation is idempotent. If you delete a mute rule that does not exist,

Deletes the specified alarms. You can delete up to 100 alarms in one operation. However, this total can include no more than one composite alarm. For example, you could delete 99 metric alarms and one composite alarms with one operation, but you can't delete two composite alarms with one operation.

Deletes the specified anomaly detection model from your account. For more information about how to delete an anomaly detection model, see Deleting an anomaly detection model in the CloudWatch User Guide.

Deletes all dashboards that you specify. You can specify up to 100 dashboards to delete. If there is an error during this call, no dashboards are deleted.

Permanently deletes the specified Contributor Insights rules. If you create a rule, delete it, and then re-create it with the same name, historical data from the first time the rule was created might not be available.

Permanently deletes the metric stream that you specify.

Returns the information of the current alarm contributors that are in ALARM state. This operation returns details about the individual time series that contribute to the alarm's state.

Retrieves the history for the specified alarm. You can filter the results by date range or item type. If an alarm name is not specified, the histories for either all metric alarms or all composite alarms are returned. CloudWatch retains the history of an alarm even if you delete the alarm. To use th

Retrieves the specified alarms. You can filter the results by specifying a prefix for the alarm name, the alarm state, or a prefix for any action. To use this operation and return information about composite alarms, you must be signed on with the cloudwatch:DescribeAlarms permission that is scoped t

Retrieves the alarms for the specified metric. To filter the results, specify a statistic, period, or unit. This operation retrieves only standard alarms that are based on the specified metric. It does not return alarms based on math expressions that use the specified metric, or composite alarms tha

Lists the anomaly detection models that you have created in your account. For single metric anomaly detectors, you can list all of the models in your account or filter the results to only the models that are related to a certain namespace, metric name, or metric dimension. For metric math anomaly de

Returns a list of all the Contributor Insights rules in your account. For more information about Contributor Insights, see Using Contributor Insights to Analyze High-Cardinality Data.

Disables the actions for the specified alarms. When an alarm's actions are disabled, the alarm actions do not execute when the alarm state changes.

Disables the specified Contributor Insights rules. When rules are disabled, they do not analyze log groups and do not incur costs.

Enables the actions for the specified alarms.

Enables the specified Contributor Insights rules. When rules are enabled, they immediately begin analyzing log data.

Retrieves details for a specific alarm mute rule. This operation returns complete information about the mute rule, including its configuration, status, targeted alarms, and metadata. The returned status indicates the current state of the mute rule: SCHEDULED: The mute rule is configured and will

Displays the details of the dashboard that you specify. To copy an existing dashboard, use GetDashboard, and then use the data returned within DashboardBody as the template for the new dashboard when you call PutDashboard to create the copy.

This operation returns the time series data collected by a Contributor Insights rule. The data includes the identity and number of contributors to the log group. You can also optionally return one or more statistics about each data point in the time series. These statistics can include the following

You can use the GetMetricData API to retrieve CloudWatch metric values. The operation can also include a CloudWatch Metrics Insights query, and one or more metric math functions. A GetMetricData operation that does not include a query can retrieve as many as 500 different metrics in a single request

Gets statistics for the specified metric. The maximum number of data points returned from a single call is 1,440. If you request more than 1,440 data points, CloudWatch returns an error. To reduce the number of data points, you can narrow the specified time range and make multiple requests across ad

Returns information about the metric stream that you specify.

You can use the GetMetricWidgetImage API to retrieve a snapshot graph of one or more Amazon CloudWatch metrics as a bitmap image. You can then embed this image into your services and products, such as wiki pages, reports, and documents. You could also retrieve images regularly, such as every minute,

Lists alarm mute rules in your Amazon Web Services account and region. You can filter the results by alarm name to find all mute rules targeting a specific alarm, or by status to find rules that are scheduled, active, or expired. This operation supports pagination for accounts with many mute rules.

Returns a list of the dashboards for your account. If you include DashboardNamePrefix, only those dashboards with names starting with the prefix are listed. Otherwise, all dashboards in your account are listed. ListDashboards returns up to 1000 results on one page. If there are more than 1000 dash

Returns a list that contains the number of managed Contributor Insights rules in your account.

Returns a list of metric streams in this account.

List the specified metrics. You can use the returned metrics with GetMetricData or GetMetricStatistics to get statistical data. Up to 500 results are returned for any one call. To retrieve additional results, use the returned token with subsequent calls. After you create a metric, allow up to 15 min

Displays the tags associated with a CloudWatch resource. Currently, alarms and Contributor Insights rules support tagging.

Creates or updates an alarm mute rule. Alarm mute rules automatically mute alarm actions during predefined time windows. When a mute rule is active, targeted alarms continue to evaluate metrics and transition between states, but their configured actions (such as Amazon SNS notifications or Auto Scal

Creates an anomaly detection model for a CloudWatch metric. You can use the model to display a band of expected normal values when the metric is graphed. If you have enabled unified cross-account observability, and this account is a monitoring account, the metric can be in the same account or a sour

Creates or updates a composite alarm. When you create a composite alarm, you specify a rule expression for the alarm that takes into account the alarm states of other alarms that you have created. The composite alarm goes into ALARM state only if all conditions of the rule are met. The alarms specif

Creates a dashboard if it does not already exist, or updates an existing dashboard. If you update a dashboard, the entire contents are replaced with what you specify here. All dashboards in your account are global, not region-specific. A simple way to create a dashboard using PutDashboard is to copy

Creates a Contributor Insights rule. Rules evaluate log events in a CloudWatch Logs log group, enabling you to find contributor data for the log events in that log group. For more information, see Using Contributor Insights to Analyze High-Cardinality Data. If you create a rule, delete it, and then

Creates a managed Contributor Insights rule for a specified Amazon Web Services resource.
