    Spoke actions

    The Amazon CloudWatch Spoke provides actions to automate Amazon Web Services (AWS) resource and application monitoring tasks when events occurs in your ServiceNow instance. Available actions include:

    Category Action Description
    Alarm Management Create Composite Alarm Creates a composite alarm.
    Delete Composite Alarm Deletes the specified alarms.
    Look Up Alarm Retrieves a list of specified alarms.
    Set Alarm State Assigns a temporary state to an alarm for testing.
    Anomaly Management Create Anomaly Detector Creates an anomaly detection model for a CloudWatch metric.
    Delete Anomaly Detector Deletes the specified anomaly detection model from an account.
    Metric Management Delete Metric Alarm Deletes the specified alarms.
    Look up Metric Data Retrieves different metrics in a single request.
    Upsert Metrics Alarm Create a new alarm or updates an alarm and associates the alarm with the specified metric, metric math expression, or an anomaly detection model.

    Connection and credential alias requirements

    Integration Hub uses aliases to manage connection and credential information. Using an alias eliminates the need to configure multiple credentials and connection information profiles when using multiple environments. If the connection or credential information changes, you don't need to update any actions that use the connection. For more information, see Connections and Credentials.
