Suppressing a Single Alarm

Temporarily stop notifications from an alarm by applying a suppression. For example, use a suppression to suspend alarm notifications during system maintenance.

Note

Dimension-specific suppressions are available for alarms that are configured for split messages only. See Scenario: Split Messages by Metric Stream. A dimension-specific suppression can't be added to multiple alarms at the same time.

When you create an alarm suppression using the SDK, CLI, or API, you can also add tags. For more information about tagging, see Resource Tags. you can also update its tags. For more information about tagging, see Resource Tags.
