PutAlarmMuteRuleRequest

Class

Container for the parameters to the PutAlarmMuteRule operation. Creates or updates an alarm mute rule.

Alarm mute rules automatically mute alarm actions during predefined time windows. When a mute rule is active, targeted alarms continue to evaluate metrics and transition between states, but their configured actions (such as Amazon SNS notifications or Auto Scaling actions) are muted.

You can create mute rules with recurring schedules using cron expressions or one-time mute windows using at expressions. Each mute rule can target up to 100 specific alarms by name.

If you specify a rule name that already exists, this operation updates the existing rule with the new configuration.

Permissions

To create or update a mute rule, you must have the cloudwatch:PutAlarmMuteRule permission on two types of resources: the alarm mute rule resource itself, and each alarm that the rule targets.

For example, If you want to allow a user to create mute rules that target only specific alarms named "WebServerCPUAlarm" and "DatabaseConnectionAlarm", you would create an IAM policy with one statement granting cloudwatch:PutAlarmMuteRule on the alarm mute rule resource (arn:aws:cloudwatch:[REGION]:123456789012:alarm-mute-rule:*), and another statement granting cloudwatch:PutAlarmMuteRule on the targeted alarm resources (arn:aws:cloudwatch:[REGION]:123456789012:alarm:WebServerCPUAlarm and arn:aws:cloudwatch:[REGION]:123456789012:alarm:DatabaseConnectionAlarm).

You can also use IAM policy conditions to allow targeting alarms based on resource tags. For example, you can restrict users to create/update mute rules to only target alarms that have a specific tag key-value pair, such as Team=TeamA.
