StateValue

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 = await client.DescribeAlarmsAsync(request);

    if (response.MetricAlarms != null)
    {
        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));
            

This example shows how to temporarily set an alarm's state.

Set alarm state example

var client = new AmazonCloudWatchClient();

var request = new SetAlarmStateRequest
{
    AlarmName = "Offline Instances",
    StateReason = "Too many instances are offline.",
    StateValue = StateValue.ALARM
};

await client.SetAlarmStateAsync(request);
