Introduction

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.

Setup

To set up the OpsRamp AWS integration and discover the AWS service, go to AWS Integration Discovery Profile and select EventBridge Rule.

Metrics

OpsRamp MetricMetric Display NameUnitAggregation TypeDescription
aws_events_MatchedEventsMatchedEventsCountAverageMeasures the number of events that matched with any rule.
aws_events_FailedInvocationsFailedInvocationsCountAverageMeasures the number of invocations that failed permanently. This does not include invocations that are retried, or that succeeded after a retry attempt. It also does not count failed invocations that are counted in DeadLetterInvocations.
aws_events_TriggeredRulesTriggeredRulesCountAverageMeasures the number of triggered rules that matched with any event.
aws_events_InvocationsInvocationsCountAverageMeasures the number of times a target is invoked for a bus in response to an event. This includes successful and failed invocations, but does not include throttled or retried attempts until they fail permanently. It does not include DeadLetterInvocations.
