Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Monitoring events in Amazon Health with Amazon EventBridge

You can use Amazon EventBridge to detect and react to Amazon Health events. Then, based on rules that you create, EventBridge invokes one or more target actions when an event matches the values that you specify in a rule. Depending on the type of event, you can capture event information, initiate additional events, send notifications, take corrective action, or perform other actions. For example, you can use Amazon Health to receive email notifications if you have Amazon resources in your Amazon Web Services account that are scheduled for updates, such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances.

Notes

You can choose between multiple target types for EventBridge as part of your Amazon Health workflow, including:

  • Amazon Lambda functions

  • Amazon Kinesis Data Streams

  • Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queues

  • Built-in targets (such as CloudWatch alarm actions)

  • Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topics

For example, you can use a Lambda function to pass a notification to a Slack channel when an Amazon Health event occurs. Or, you can use Lambda and EventBridge to send custom text or SMS notifications with Amazon SNS when an Amazon Health event occurs.
