deleteCanary

Permanently deletes the specified canary.

If the canary's ProvisionedResourceCleanup field is set to AUTOMATIC or you specify DeleteLambda in this operation as true, CloudWatch Synthetics also deletes the Lambda functions and layers that are used by the canary.

Other resources used and created by the canary are not automatically deleted. After you delete a canary, you should also delete the following:

• The CloudWatch alarms created for this canary. These alarms have a name of Synthetics-Alarm-<i>first-198-characters-of-canary-name</i>-<i>canaryId</i>-<i>alarm number</i>

• Amazon S3 objects and buckets, such as the canary's artifact location.

• IAM roles created for the canary. If they were created in the console, these roles have the name role/service-role/CloudWatchSyntheticsRole-<i>First-21-Characters-of-CanaryName</i>

• CloudWatch Logs log groups created for the canary. These logs groups have the name /aws/lambda/cwsyn-<i>First-21-Characters-of-CanaryName</i>

Before you delete a canary, you might want to use GetCanary to display the information about this canary. Make note of the information returned by this operation so that you can delete these resources after you delete the canary.
