datapoints
Parameters
value
The number of datapoints that must be breaching to trigger the alarm. This is used only if you are setting an "M out of N" alarm. In that case, this value is the M, and the value that you set for `EvaluationPeriods` is the N value. For more information, see Evaluating an Alarm in the User Guide. If you omit this parameter, CW uses the same value here that you set for `EvaluationPeriods`, and the alarm goes to alarm state if that many consecutive periods are breaching.
