To clean alarms generated through CloudWatch

0

Hi friends,

What is the easiest way to remove alarms generated through CloudWatch? My "Cost and Usage Report" through the Cost Explorer still shows cost with the name "USW2-CW:AlarmMonitorUsage". I searched to get rid of it in the knowledge base, but all seemed to be a bit complicated for me. Is there a simplest way to get rid of it? Many many thanks in advance!!

Hi friend. I have created a file as per the instruction given and executed it. The amazing thing is that I got the echoed text message "All alarms deleted." without any error. I hope this has cleared all unnecessary alarms, and my slate is be clean now :D. Many many thanks for the help and providing a script which works without error. Adios!

Example: Bash Script to Delete All Alarms

#!/bin/bash

# List all alarm names
alarms=$(aws cloudwatch describe-alarms --query "MetricAlarms[].AlarmName" --output text)

# Delete each alarm
for alarm in $alarms; do
  echo "Deleting alarm: $alarm"
  aws cloudwatch delete-alarms --alarm-names "$alarm"
done

echo "All alarms deleted."

Make the script executable:

chmod +x delete_alarms.sh

Run the script:

./delete_alarms.sh

Hello friend,

Sorry for returning with the same. When I look at the services I can still see AmazonCloudWatch showing "Current usage = 10 Alarms" and "Forecasted usage = 14 Alarms". Does this mean still there are some alarms in the system? how can I see them and get rid of those Alarms? Many thanks!
