• Make the role of cloud watch if you have not added User detail in code.
• Make lambda function execution time-limit 1-2 minutes.

Notifiction config

This function will add a metric in the cloud watch if your webpage is up then you will send count 5 into the cloud watch metric or it will send 0 in metric.

Now you can create a cloud watch alarm on metrics and create SNS alert on email.
