0) Understand: This alarm indicates that the AWS Kendra Index is potentially underutilized and may be a candidate for decommissioning, saving costs without affecting productivity. 1) Validate: Confirm the accuracy by checking the 'IndexQueryCount' metric in AWS CloudWatch directly. This policy runs daily (non-reactive) based on the provided CloudWatch metric. 2) Triage: Inaction means continuing unnecessary expenditures. Unaddressed, there's no further degradation. No related outage expected during remediation. 3) Act: Investigate usage patterns. If justified, decommission or archive the index. 4) Reflect: If alerts are frequent but not actionable, adjust the threshold, extend the period, or disable the policy.
