A SysOps administrator needs to create alerts that are based on the read and write metrics of Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes that are attached to an Amazon EC2 instance. The SysOps administrator creates and enables Amazon CloudWatch alarms for the DiskReadBytes metric and the DiskWriteBytes metric.
A custom monitoring tool that is installed on the EC2 instance with the same alarm configuration indicates that the volume metrics have exceeded the threshold. However, the CloudWatch alarms were not in ALARM state.
Which action will ensure that the CloudWatch alarms function correctly?

// explanation
DiskReadBytes and DiskWriteBytes are EC2 instance-level metrics and may not reflect EBS volume I/O the way your on-host tool does. EBS volumes publish dedicated VolumeReadBytes and VolumeWriteBytes metrics in CloudWatch, so alarms must target those volume metrics (with the volume ID dimension) to trigger correctly on EBS read/write thresholds.
