Selecting a Resource Group in an Alarm Query

Limit returned metric data by matching a resource group when querying custom metric data for an alarm in Monitoring.

Resource groups are available with custom metrics.

Note

A blank or null value for Resource group returns only metric data that doesn't have a resource group.

For alarm troubleshooting, see Troubleshooting Alarms. See also Creating a Basic Alarm.
