Alerts

Alerts allow real-time monitoring of your environment and provide visibility into performance metrics and exceptions.
The Alerts page displays your alerts, their types, applied resources, and notification preferences.

There are several types of available alerts with customizable triggers and integrations.

Event Alert
Triggered when a event occurs that matches the alert condition. For example, when an ECS service throws an exception or a Lambda function times out.

Metric Alert
Triggered when a metric exceeds a specific threshold for a specified period of time. Metrics are an aggregation of event occurrences over time. For example, the error rate of a Lambda function increases by 10% over the last 10 minutes.

CloudWatch Metric Alert
Triggered when a CloudWatch metric exceeds a specific threshold for a specified period of time. For example, the number of messages added to an SQS queue is greater than 10 in the last 10 minutes.
