AWS Firewall Manager notifications

AWS Firewall Manager doesn't record metrics, so you can't create Amazon CloudWatch alarms specifically for Firewall Manager. However, you can configure Amazon SNS notifications to alert you to potential attacks. To create Amazon SNS notifications in Firewall Manager, see Step 4: Configuring Amazon SNS notifications and Amazon CloudWatch alarms.
