Can threshold alert be in real-time, almost real-time?

[qsnoob]

Hi, according to AWS documentation, threshold alerts are only dispatched at a random time between 6:00 PM and 8:00 AM in the AWS Region that holds the dataset by default.

If I require an alert to be dispatched immediately when a certain condition is met in my QuickSight dashboard, is there anyway to work around this?

Hi @qsnoob

I think currently alerts are a bit restricted. We were looking at it to send alerts on a 5-10 minutely basis which is currently not possible.

But there are some work arounds and the following is one such. I haven’t used it but you may check this out to see if this is something you would like to pursue.

Option to set 'Schedule' email based on Hourly or Minutes frequencies?

Hey, Was wondering if there is a way to set the ‘Schedule’ emails based on an hourly basis (i.e.: Every 2 hours, I would like to be sent a dashboard to the email group)? We have all the typical frequencies (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, etc), however, I can’t see one for hourly or even based on a certain amount of minutes. Please let me know if this is something that is possible. Thanks in advance! Regards Ja’van

Hi @qsnoob,
It’s been awhile since we last heard from you on this thread, did you have any additional questions regarding your initial post or were you able to find a work around?

If we do not hear back within the next 3 business days, I’ll close out this topic.

Thank you!
