Example

In this example, the request updates the configuration of anomaly detection for AWS from the GET request example. It switches high CPU utilization on RDS detection to custom threshold mode and sets a threshold of 90%. It also disables RDS running out of memory detection.

The API token is passed in the Authorization header.

You can download or copy the example request body to try it out on your own. Be sure to create a backup copy of your current configuration with the GET AWS anomaly detection configuration call.
