AWS alarm for real time values
<p>(AWS Beginner) </p>

<p>I am connected to temperature sensors and want to trigger an email notification when temperature crosses the threshold value. </p>

<p>In SNS alarms,metrics are predefined and  I am not able to customize my real time alarm.</p>

<p>Amazon CloudWatch supports custom CloudWatch metrics.</p>

<p><a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/publishingMetrics.html" rel="nofollow">http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/publishingMetrics.html</a></p>

<p>Once you have your metrics being pushed to CloudWatch, you can then create a CloudWatch alarm on your custom metrics to trigger alerts via SNS.</p>
