README.md

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 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.
