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 MetricAWS MetricMetric Display NameUnitAggregation TypeDescription
aws_events_DeadLetterInvocationsDeadLetterInvocationsDead Letter InvocationsCountAverageThe number of times a rule’s target isn't invoked in response to an event. This includes invocations that would result in running the same rule again, causing an infinite loop.
aws_events_FailedInvocationsFailedInvocationsFailed InvocationsCountAverageThe number of invocations that failed permanently. This doesn't include invocations that are retried or invocations that succeeded after a retry attempt. It also doesn't count failed invocations that are counted in DeadLetterInvocations.
aws_events_InvocationsInvocationsInvocationsCountAverageThe number of times a target is invoked by a rule in response to an event. This includes successful and failed invocations, but doesn't include throttled or retried attempts until they fail permanently. It doesn't include DeadLetterInvocations.
aws_events_InvocationAttemptsInvocationAttemptsInvocation AttemptsCountAverageNumber of times EventBridge attempted invoking a target.
aws_events_InvocationsFailedToBeSentToDlqInvocationsFailedToBeSentToDlqInvocations Failed To Be Sent To DlqCountAverageThe number of invocations that couldn't be moved to a dead-letter queue. Dead-letter queue errors occur due to permissions errors, unavailable resources, or size limits.
aws_events_IngestiontoInvocationCompleteLatencyIngestiontoInvocationCompleteLatencyIngestionto Invocation Complete LatencyMillisecondsAverageThe time taken from event ingestion to completion of the first invocation attempt.
aws_events_IngestionToInvocationSuccessLatencyIngestionToInvocationSuccessLatencyIngestion To Invocation Success LatencyMillisecondsAverageThe time taken from event ingestion to successful target delivery, using the invocation end time as cutoff.
aws_events_IngestiontoInvocationStartLatencyIngestiontoInvocationStartLatencyIngestionto Invocation Start LatencyMillisecondsAverageThe time to process events, measured from when an event is ingested by EventBridge to the first invocation of a target.
aws_events_InvocationsSentToDlqInvocationsSentToDlqInvocations Sent To DlqCountAverageThe number of invocations that are moved to a dead-letter queue.
aws_events_MatchedEventsMatchedEventsMatched EventsCountAverageIf EventBusName or EventSourceName is specified, the number of events that matched with any rule. If RuleName is specified, the number of events that matched with a specific rule.
aws_events_RetryInvocationAttemptsRetryInvocationAttemptsRetry Invocation AttemptsCountAverageNumber of times target invocation has been retried.
aws_events_SuccessfulInvocationAttemptsSuccessfulInvocationAttemptsSuccessful Invocation AttemptsCountAverageNumber of times target was successfully invoked.
aws_events_ThrottledRulesThrottledRulesThrottled RulesCountAverageThe number of times rule execution was throttled. Invocations for those rules may be delayed.
aws_events_TriggeredRulesTriggeredRulesTriggered RulesCountAverageThe number of rules that have run and matched with any event.
