CreateArchiveCommand

Creates an archive of events with the specified settings. When you create an archive, incoming events might not immediately start being sent to the archive. Allow a short period of time for changes to take effect. If you do not specify a pattern to filter events sent to the archive, all events are sent to the archive except replayed events. Replayed events are not sent to an archive.

If you have specified that EventBridge use a customer managed key for encrypting the source event bus, we strongly recommend you also specify a customer managed key for any archives for the event bus as well.

For more information, see Encrypting archives  in the Amazon EventBridge User Guide.

  KmsKeyIdentifier: "STRING_VALUE",
};
const command = new CreateArchiveCommand(input);
const response = await client.send(command);
// { // CreateArchiveResponse
