Installing a service-linked role to use Amazon Incident Detection and Response

If you use Amazon Incident Detection and Response for your account, then you must install the AWSServiceRoleForHealth_EventProcessor service-linked role in your account.

This role trusts the event-processor.health.amazonaws.com service principal to assume the role. Attached to this role is the AWSHealth_EventProcessorServiceRolePolicy Amazon managed policy. This policy lists the permissions that the role can perform, such as calling other Amazon Web Services services for you.

This role then creates an Amazon EventBridge managed rule in your account. The rule is named AWSHealthEventProcessor-DO-NOT-DELETE. This rule is the required infrastructure for your account so that EventBridge can deliver alarm state change information from your account to Amazon Health.
