How to delete Cloudwatch alarms through AWS-CLI?
2
I have to delete almost 3K+ Cloudwatch alarms all in INSUFFICIENT_STATE.
So to deal with this I -
1. Took out the list of all the alarms in INSUFFICIENT state through terminal
aws cloudwatch describe-alarms --query 'MetricAlarms[*].AlarmName' --state-value INSUFFICIENT_DATA --output text > list.csv
- Ran the file against a for loop through terminal only
for i in `cat list.csv` ;do aws cloudwatch delete-alarms --alarm-names $i ;done
- After running this command the alerts are not removed from AWS. I tested the script with 5 alarms in the list and the same worked. But this is not working for the file with more alarm names in it.
NOTE- I didn't get any error while running the command.

Do the file names have and special characters or spaces in them?

Can you check your CloudTrail logs and ensure the commands have been received?

delete-alarms has a fairly low tps limit, you could be getting throttled. Try adding a 0.5 second sleep in each iteration if the loop.

File names don't have special character, have verified them. @DavidWebster
