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).

OnFailure

A destination for events that failed processing. For more information, see Adding a destination.

Contents

Destination

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the destination resource.

To retain records of unsuccessful asynchronous invocations, you can configure an Amazon SNS topic, Amazon SQS queue, Amazon S3 bucket, Lambda function, or Amazon EventBridge event bus as the destination.

Note

Amazon SNS destinations have a message size limit of 256 KB. If the combined size of the function request and response payload exceeds the limit, Lambda will drop the payload when sending OnFailure event to the destination. For details on this behavior, refer to Retaining records of asynchronous invocations.

To retain records of failed invocations from Kinesis, DynamoDB, self-managed Kafka or Amazon MSK, you can configure an Amazon SNS topic, Amazon SQS queue, or Amazon S3 bucket as the destination.
