Question I want to create alarm so that if the status check failed for 5 times or more in 10 minutes, then raise alarm. Basically, I want to check if the instance is alive or not , for which I plan to use systemCheckFailed metrics. I am not so sure if I am using the right values as below .
mon-put-metric-alarm TestAlarm --comparisonoperator GreaterThanThreshold --evaluation-periods 5 --metric-name StatusCheckFailed --namespace "AWS/EC2" --period 600 --statistic Average --threshold 5 --alarm-actions arn:aws:autoscaling:us-east-1:764516644405:scalingPolicy:dtestguid:autoScalingGroupName/WebAutoScaleGroup:policyName/WebScaleUp --dimensions "AutoScalingGroupName=WebAutoScaleGroup"
