Starting or stopping an Amazon EventBridge pipe

By default, a pipe is Running and processes events when it's created.

If you create a pipe with Amazon SQS, Kinesis, or DynamoDB sources, pipe creation can typically take a minute or two.

If you create a pipe with Amazon MSK, self managed Apache Kafka, or Amazon MQ sources, pipes creation can take up to ten minutes.

To create a pipe without processing events using the console

  • Turn off the Activate pipe setting.

To create a pipe without processing events programmatically

  • In your API call, set the DesiredState to Stopped.

To start or stop an existing pipe using the console

  • On the Pipes settings tab, under Activation, for Activate pipe, turn Active on or off.

To start or stop an existing pipe programmatically

  • In your API call, set the DesiredState parameter to either RUNNING or STOPPED.

There can be a delay between when a pipe is STOPPED and when it no longer processes events:

  • For Amazon SQS and stream sources, this delay is typically less than two minutes.

  • For Amazon MQ and Apache Kafka sources, this delay may be up to fifteen minutes.
