This infrastructure app marks all orphaned AWS CloudWatch instance alarms (e.g., alarms associated with an EC2 instance that no longer exists) for cleanup.

Installation​

> app install cleanup-aws-alarms
info

Upon installation, Fix Inventory will create a config fix.apps.cleanup_aws_alarms.

Configuration​

  1. Execute the following command in Fix Inventory Shell to open the infrastructure app configuration for editing:

    > config edit fix.apps.cleanup_aws_alarms

  2. Update the configuration with the desired target cloud account IDs:

    cleanup_aws_alarms configuration
    clouds_and_accounts:
      aws:
        - '1234567'
        - '567890'

Usage​

Run the app using the app run command:
