Amazon EventBridge is a serverless event bus that connects applications together by using data from the following:

  • Your applications.
  • Integrated Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications.
  • AWS services.

EventBridge delivers a stream of real-time data from event sources and routes that data to targets like AWS Lambda.

  • Routing rule are setup to specify where the data is sent. This data is used to build application architectures that react in real-time to all of your data sources.
  • EventBridge takes care of event ingestion and delivery, security, authorization, and error handling.

The AWS::Events::Rule resource creates a rule that matches incoming events and routes them to one or more targets for processing.

  • A rule must contain at least an event pattern or schedule expression.
  • Rules with event pattern are triggered when a matching event is observed.
  • Rules with schedule expression self-trigger based on the given schedule.
  • A rule can have both an event pattern and a schedule expression, in which case, the rule triggers on matching events and on a schedule.

Use the AWS public cloud integration to discover and collect metrics against the AWS service.

Supported metrics

OpsRamp MetricMetric Display NameUnitAggregation Type
aws_events_DeadLetterInvocations

Measures the number of times a rules target is not invoked in response to an event. This includes invocations that would result in triggering the same rule again, causing an infinite loop.
DeadLetterInvocationsCountAverage
aws_events_Invocations

Measures the number of times a target is invoked for a rule in response to an event. This includes successful and failed invocations, but does not include throttles or retries until they fail permanently. It does not include DeadLetterInvocations.
InvocationsCountAverage
aws_events_FailedInvocations

Measures the number of invocations that failed permanently. This does not include invocations that are retried, or that succeeded after a retry. It also does not count failed invocations that are counted in DeadLetterInvocations.
FailedInvocationsCountAverage
aws_events_TriggeredRules

Measures the number of triggered rules that matched with any event.
TriggeredRulesCountAverage
aws_events_ThrottledRules

Measures the number of triggered rules that are being throttled.
