Can AWS CloudWatch alarms be paused/disabled during specific hours?
I want to automatically toggle alarms on/off during specific periods of time so that they do not fire during maintenance windows. I'm doubting that an easy or direct method exists since I could not find such a thing in the documentation. Does anyone know of a different approach to achieve this while still using CloudWatch alarms, or did I miss an obvious solution? It's not automatic but it can be done: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/APIReference/API_EnableAlarmActions.html What you want to do is: right before the maintenance window starts you Disable the alarm actions.
