Elastic Beanstalk is sending me too many emails because of auto-scaling

While Elastic Beanstalk doesn't have a direct setting to disable auto-scaling emails based on application health status, you can adjust your auto-scaling and notification settings to reduce the number of emails you receive.

To address your concern, you can take the following steps:

1. Review and adjust your auto-scaling triggers: You may want to modify the thresholds and breach duration for your auto-scaling actions. This can help reduce unnecessary scaling events that trigger notifications.

2. Use CloudWatch alarms: Instead of relying solely on Elastic Beanstalk's default notifications, you can set up custom CloudWatch alarms that trigger only when specific conditions are met, such as when the application health status changes to a more severe level than "Info".

3. Adjust the health check settings: Review your health check configuration to ensure it's not too sensitive, which might be causing unnecessary scaling events and notifications.

While these steps can help reduce the number of emails you receive, it's important to maintain a balance between reducing notifications and ensuring you're still adequately informed about your application's status. Remember that auto-scaling is a crucial feature for maintaining your application's performance and availability, so be cautious when making significant changes to these settings.
