Good day,

I established a connection with AWS to retrieve metrics using ELK stack and metricbeat, everything is working as expected I believe. My question is that can I retrieve metrics for Alarms that were triggered on AWS.

I'm a newbie in this field please be kind!

Hi @martian1431,

This is something we don't support as of today, we can retrieve CloudWatch metrics but not the alerts (these are available on a different API).

Did you consider using Kibana alerts to alert on Cloudwatch Metrics?

Yes, but my employer wants to monitor aws alarms using kibana..I did find a way to pipe those alarms to elasticsearch using AWS/SNS and Springboot web applications.
