Monitoring data with alarms

This page was generated from content adapted from the AWS Developer Guide

Configuring alarms on assets

• Note You can configure these values for AWS IoT Events alarms, but not external alarms.

Responding to alarms

• Note You can respond to AWS IoT Events alarms, but not external alarms.

• Note You must enable the acknowledge flow on the alarm so that you can acknowledge the alarm. This option is enabled by default if you define the alarm from the AWS IoT SiteWise console.

Ingesting external alarm state

• Note If your data source can't report data in this format, or you can't convert your data to this format before you ingest it, you might choose not to use an alarm property. Instead, you can ingest the data as a measurement property with the string data type, for example. For more information, see Defining data streams from equipment (measurements) and Ingesting data to AWS IoT SiteWise.
