Alarm defenition

Detailed description of the properties can be found in the AWS documentation.

name description type default
enabled Indicates whether the alarm will be created or not boolean false
prefixTemplate Prefix alarm name string ''
nameTemplate The name of the alarm string $[lambdaName]-$[definitionName]
description The description of the alarm string
namespace The namespace of the metric associated with the alarm string
metric The name of the metric associated with the alarm string
comparisonOperator The arithmetic operation to use when comparing the specified statistic and threshold string
statistic The statistic for the metric associated with the alarm string
threshold The value to compare with the specified statistic number
period The period, in seconds, over which the statistic is applied number
evaluationPeriods The number of periods over which data is compared to the specified threshold number
datapointsToAlarm The number of datapoints that must be breaching to trigger the alarm number
actionsEnabled Indicates whether actions should be executed during any changes to the alarm state boolean
okActions The actions to execute when this alarm transitions to the OK state from any other state string[]
alarmActions The list of actions to execute when this alarm transitions into an ALARM state from any other state string[]
insufficientDataActions The actions to execute when this alarm transitions to the INSUFFICIENT_DATA state from any other state string[]
treatMissingData Sets how this alarm is to handle missing data points string
tags Sets alarm tags Record<string, string>
metricFilter Create an alarm based on a pattern found in a log group AlarmMetricFilterDefinition

Metric filter definition

Detailed description of the properties can be found in the AWS documentation.

name description type default
pattern A filter pattern for extracting metric data out of ingested log events. For more information, see Filter and Pattern Syntax string required
metricValue The value that is published to the CloudWatch metric string | number
defaultValue The value to emit when a filter pattern does not match a log event number
nameTemplate The name of the metric filter string $[lambdaName]$[definitionName]AlarmFilter

Name template placeholders

You can use the following placeholders in the nameTemplate and prefixTemplate properties:

  • stackName - the name of the stack
  • lambdaName - the name of the lambda
  • lambdaId - the name of the lambda resource (the key in functions section)
  • lambdaLogicalId - the name of the lambda resource in the CloudFormation template
  • metricName - the name of the metric (from alarm defenition)
  • definitionName - the name of the alarm definition

Usage example:

nameTemplate: $[stackName]-$[lambdaName]-$[metricName]-alarm
prefixTemplate: $[stackName]
npm i serverless-aws-alarms
