Create a CloudWatch Alarm

You can create an Amazon CloudWatch alarm that monitors any one of your Amazon EC2 instance's CloudWatch metrics. CloudWatch will automatically send you a notification when the metric reaches a threshold you specify. You can create a CloudWatch alarm on the Amazon EC2 console of the AWS Management Console, or you can use the CloudWatch console and configure more advanced options.
