aws-missing-tools/as-apply-alarms/README.txt

# Introduction:
as-apply-alarms was created to easily apply alarms to anywhere from one to a number of Amazon Auto Scaling Groups. The tool applies alarms for CPU Utilization. as-apply-alarms will run "out of the box" however the intent is rather to provide a template (and the logic) for managing multiple Auto Scaling Group's alarms.
# Directions For Use:
## Example of Use:
as-apply-alarms -d auto-scaling-group-name -t name-of-sns-topic
-
the above example would apply alarms to the Auto Scaling Group named <auto-scaling-group-name> and if any of these Alarms enter state "Alarm" would send a message to "name-of-topic."
## Required Parameters:
as-apply-alarms requires the following two arguments:
    -g <auto-scaling-group-name> - the name of the Auto Scaling Group for which you wish to apply alarms.
    -t <name-of-topic> - the name of the sns-topic where Alarms should be sent.
#
## Optional Parameters:
    -a - pass the -a parameter to apply alarms to all Auto Scaling Groups.
    -r <region> - region that contains the Auto Scaling Group(s) where alarms should be applied
    -e <evaluation period> - set to the number of evaluation periods before an SNS topic is notified.
    -p <previewmode> - set to "true" to preview what alarms would be applied.
