Alarm review and feedback

AWS Incident Detection and Response conduct comprehensive reviews of your alarms prior to onboarding them for monitoring. Alarms are evaluated against a technical acceptance criteria including configuration parameters, data quality and alert effectiveness.

Based on this review, two types of feedback are provided:

  • Mandatory configuration requirements - these changes must be implemented for alarm acceptance.

  • Optional improvement recommendations - these changes enhance alarm effectiveness but are not mandatory for alarm acceptance.

After receiving this feedback, you can decide to proceed with only onboarding accepted alarms and those needing optional improvements, while working on configuration changes for alarms with mandatory configuration requirements in parallel.

Alternatively, you can implement all changes before going live. This approach extends the onboarding timeline, based on the number of alarms requiring adjustments.
