region [required]

enum

default: us-east-1

policyName [required]

string

The name or ARN of the policy.

autoScalingGroupName

string

The name of the Auto Scaling group.

breachThreshold

number

The breach threshold for the alarm.

honorCooldown

boolean

Indicates whether Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling waits for the cooldown period to complete before executing the policy. Valid only if the policy type is SimpleScaling.

metricValue

number

The metric value to compare to BreachThreshold. This enables you to execute a policy of type StepScaling and determine which step adjustment to use. For example, if the breach threshold is 50 and you want to use a step adjustment with a lower bound of 0 and an upper bound of 10, you can set the metric value to 59.

If you specify a metric value that doesn't correspond to a step adjustment for the policy, the call returns an error.

Required if the policy type is StepScaling and not supported otherwise.
