notificationTriggers

The alarm states that trigger a notification.

An alarm has the following possible states:

• ALARM - The metric is outside of the defined threshold.

• INSUFFICIENT_DATA - The alarm has just started, the metric is not available, or not enough data is available for the metric to determine the alarm state.

• OK - The metric is within the defined threshold.

When you specify a notification trigger, the ALARM state must be specified. The INSUFFICIENT_DATA and OK states can be specified in addition to the ALARM state.

• If you specify OK as an alarm trigger, a notification is sent when the alarm switches from an ALARM or INSUFFICIENT_DATA alarm state to an OK state. This can be thought of as an all clear alarm notification.

• If you specify INSUFFICIENT_DATA as the alarm trigger, a notification is sent when the alarm switches from an OK or ALARM alarm state to an INSUFFICIENT_DATA state.

The notification trigger defaults to ALARM if you don't specify this parameter.
