I'm new and am trying to work with AWS. I develop small lambda functions and have created some dynamodb tables. I don't expect there to be any costs, because I should be in the free-tier, but since last month I am seeing costs for "Cloud Watch Alarms". Not high costs, but I got billed $0.53. Why I am getting this bill even though I am using AWS free tier.
Billing info:
$0.00 per alarm-month - first 10 alarms 10 Alarms $0.00
$0.10 per alarm-month 4.277 Alarms 0.43$
I don't want these cloudwatch metrics right now. I only want to store log files. How can I to disable these cloudwatch metrics.
Thanks,

Many Amazon services offer basic monitoring by publishing a default set of metrics to CloudWatch with no charge to customers. By default, when you start using one of these Amazon Web Services, basic monitoring is automatically enabled.
Q: Will I lose the metrics data if I disable monitoring for an Amazon EC2 instance? No. You can always retrieve metrics data for any Amazon EC2 instance based on the retention schedules described above.
Open the CloudWatch console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/ . In the navigation pane, choose Dashboards, and then choose a dashboard. In the upper-right corner of the graph that you want to remove, choose Widget actions, and then choose Delete. Choose Save dashboard.
You have configured, maybe unintentionally, a Cloud Watch Alarm.
Fortunately it's quite easy to remove it.
Go to your AWS Dashboard and select Cloud Watch:
On the left-hand side, click on Alarms. Select the Alarm which you want to remove and delete it.
