CloudWatch alarm resource - only for --stage live [solved]

Serverless Framework
1

Suppose I have under resource :

    queueSizeAlarm:
      Type: AWS::CloudWatch::Alarm
      Properties:
        AlarmDescription: 'sending queue large'
        Namespace: AWS/SQS
        MetricName: ApproximateAgeOfOldestMessage
        Statistic: Average
        Threshold: 8000
        ComparisonOperator: GreaterThanThreshold
        EvaluationPeriods: 1
        Period: 600
        Dimensions:
          - Name: QueueName
            Value: live-send.fifo
        AlarmActions:
          - Ref: TopicCloudwatchAlarm
   SendQueue:
      Type: AWS::SQS::Queue
      Properties:
        QueueName: ${self:provider.stage}-send.fifo
        FifoQueue: true
        ContentBasedDeduplication: true
        MessageRetentionPeriod: ${self:custom.sqs.retention.long.${self:provider.stage}}
        KmsMasterKeyId : 'alias/aws/sqs' # default

So that if the queue stalls, I get an alert.

This deploys into both dev and live stacks when I do sls deploy --stage dev or ... --stage live so the alert is duplicated.

How can I make this alarm run only in the live stack ?

Or, more broadly I suppose, how can I deploy a resource only to certain stages ?

Would people think it was weird to use this, with empty/missing for non-live stages ?
