This section describes how to install and configure the AWS Event Collector integration to ingest events from your AWS environment into OpsRamp. The setup process is divided into two parts to clearly separate OpsRamp‑side configuration from AWS‑side configuration.
AWS Event Collector – Installation and Configuration
This topic explains how to install the AWS Event Collector app in OpsRamp and configure integration‑level settings. It covers:
- Installing the AWS Event Collector integration
- Selecting AWS accounts to collect events from
- Enabling supported event sources such as CloudTrail, CloudWatch Alarms, and AWS Health Events
- Configuring alert generation and log storage options
- Retrieving the Event Ingestion URL and Token required for AWS configuration
Use this section to complete all configuration steps within OpsRamp.
AWS Configuration Using CloudFormation Templates
This topic explains how to configure your AWS environment to forward events to OpsRamp using pre‑built CloudFormation templates. It covers:
- Supported deployment scenarios (single account, multi‑account, multi‑region)
- Deploying the required CloudFormation templates
- Automatically creating AWS resources such as EventBridge rules, Kinesis Data Firehose and IAM roles
- Verifying event delivery to OpsRamp
- Updating or removing the setup when needed
This section focuses on the AWS‑side setup required to securely forward events to OpsRamp and is the recommended approach for most environments.
