As a developer/operator of GC Notify, I would like to be able to see historical alarm data so that I can identify trends, and better troubleshoot ongoing issues.
WHY are we building?
We are trying to increase our stability as well as reduce noise in our operations channels. Having alarm history will allow us to identify when we have erroneous alarms, or identify patterns in alarms that could lead to fixes to the system.

As a developer/operator of GC Notify, I would like to be able to see historical alarm data so that I can identify trends, and better troubleshoot ongoing issues.
WHY are we building?
We are trying to increase our stability as well as reduce noise in our operations channels. Having alarm history will allow us to identify when we have erroneous alarms, or identify patterns in alarms that could lead to fixes to the system.
WHAT are we building?
By default AWS only tracks alarms up to 14 days. There is a blog entry here to demonstrate how to extend this: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/mt/extending-and-exploring-alarm-history-in-amazon-cloudwatch-part-1/
VALUE created by our solution
Less noise in operations channels, better ability to troubleshoot the system and improve stability.
