amazon ec2 - Can I define an EC2 auto scale group with scaling policies without adding alarms to CloudWatch dashboard? -
i followed instructions on http://docs.aws.amazon.com/autoscaling/latest/developerguide/as-scale-based-on-demand.html in order have cpuutilization based auto scale group. noticed alarms created mon-put-metric-alarm create alarms listed on cloudwatch dashboard. means on low cpu utlilization have metric in alarm state. can hide auto scale metrics in cloudwatch web interface?
interesting question (+1) - i'm not aware of option hide auto scale metrics in amazon cloudwatch web interface , respective putmetricalarm api action doesn't feature related option either.
while use case sound, aws team follows minimum viable product approach when implementing new service initially, , despite steadily adding additional features later on, still tend obey pareto principle when choosing worthwhile features, doubt understandable request implemented anytime soon.
