Editing the Default Disk Space Alarm

If you opted to create a default disk space alarm when you created your Amazon Redshift cluster, you

can edit the alarm. For example, you might want to change the percentage at which the alarm triggers,

or you might want to change the duration settings.

To edit the default disk space alarm

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon Redshift console at https://

console.aws.amazon.com/redshift.

2. In the navigation pane, click Clusters, and then click the cluster associated with the alarm that you

want to edit.

3. Click the Status tab.

4. In the CloudWatch Alarms section, click the alarm that you want to edit.

The default disk space alarm that was created when you launched your cluster is named

percentage-disk-space-used-default-<string>. The string is randomly generated by Amazon

Redshift.
