Stopping AWS Cloudwatch INSUFFICIENT_DATA to OK transition emails

With Cloudwatch alarms I want to know about ALARM -> OK transition, but INSUFFICIENT_DATA -> OK transition just gets really annoying.

Is there a way to stop the latter notification? I could do via an email filter but would rather stop it at the source if possible.

People also ask

Why would an Amazon CloudWatch alarm report as INSUFFICIENT_DATA instead of OK or alarm?

Because the data points are not successfully being delivered to CloudWatch, the alarm can't retrieve any data points for those evaluation periods. This triggers an INSUFFICIENT_DATA state.

How do I stop CloudWatch charges?

Charges are incurred by detailed CloudWatch monitoring for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances, Auto Scaling group launch configurations, or API gateways. To reduce costs, turn off detailed monitoring of instances, Auto Scaling group launch configurations, or API gateways, as appropriate.
