AWS Cloudwatch Alarms into Event Console

7 votes

Currently, the AWS CloudWatch Service is a single service. So you only get one notification for the first alert, but not for any further alert as long as the first one is not resolved. So there might be a lack of notification when multiple alerts happen.

I would like to see the Cloudwatch alarms in the Event Console. Each alarm as a own event, which can be handled individually and notified with EC rules like syslog, SNMP traps and text logs. ANd of course, the even can be closed when the alert is resolved in Cloud Watch.

Currently, Checkmk handles CloudWatch Alarms as state. If the first Alarm is triggered, the state goes to crit. Subsequent alarms will be ignored.
It would feel more natural, if the AWS CloudWatch alarms are processed by the event console
