Creating health checks and configuring DNS failover
- Note Because Route 53 health checks monitor CloudWatch data streams instead of the state of CloudWatch alarms, you can't force the status of a health check to change by using the CloudWatch SetAlarmState API operation.
- Important If you're updating or deleting health checks that are associated with records, review the tasks in Updating or deleting health checks when DNS failover is configured before you proceed.
