NAME

Paws::CloudWatchEvents - Perl Interface to AWS Amazon CloudWatch Events

SYNOPSIS

  use Paws;

  my $obj = Paws->service('CloudWatchEvents');
  my $res = $obj->Method(
    Arg1 => $val1,
    Arg2 => [ 'V1', 'V2' ],
    # if Arg3 is an object, the HashRef will be used as arguments to the constructor
    # of the arguments type
    Arg3 => { Att1 => 'Val1' },
    # if Arg4 is an array of objects, the HashRefs will be passed as arguments to
    # the constructor of the arguments type
    Arg4 => [ { Att1 => 'Val1'  }, { Att1 => 'Val2' } ],
  );

DESCRIPTION

Amazon CloudWatch Events helps you to respond to state changes in your AWS resources. When your resources change state, they automatically send events into an event stream. You can create rules that match selected events in the stream and route them to targets to take action. You can also use rules to take action on a pre-determined schedule. For example, you can configure rules to:

  • Automatically invoke an AWS Lambda function to update DNS entries when an event notifies you that Amazon EC2 instance enters the running state.

  • Direct specific API records from CloudTrail to an Amazon Kinesis stream for detailed analysis of potential security or availability risks.

  • Periodically invoke a built-in target to create a snapshot of an Amazon EBS volume.

For more information about the features of Amazon CloudWatch Events, see the Amazon CloudWatch Events User Guide.

METHODS

DeleteRule(Name => Str)

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatchEvents::DeleteRule

Returns: nothing

  Deletes the specified rule.

You must remove all targets from a rule using RemoveTargets before you can delete the rule.

When you delete a rule, incoming events might continue to match to the deleted rule. Please allow a short period of time for changes to take effect.

DescribeEventBus()

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatchEvents::DescribeEventBus

Returns: a Paws::CloudWatchEvents::DescribeEventBusResponse instance

  Displays the external AWS accounts that are permitted to write events
to your account using your account's event bus, and the associated
policy. To enable your account to receive events from other accounts,
use PutPermission.

DescribeRule(Name => Str)

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatchEvents::DescribeRule

Returns: a Paws::CloudWatchEvents::DescribeRuleResponse instance

  Describes the specified rule.

DisableRule(Name => Str)

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatchEvents::DisableRule

Returns: nothing

  Disables the specified rule. A disabled rule won't match any events,
and won't self-trigger if it has a schedule expression.

When you disable a rule, incoming events might continue to match to the disabled rule. Please allow a short period of time for changes to take effect.

EnableRule(Name => Str)

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatchEvents::EnableRule

Returns: nothing

  Enables the specified rule. If the rule does not exist, the operation
fails.

When you enable a rule, incoming events might not immediately start matching to a newly enabled rule. Please allow a short period of time for changes to take effect.

ListRuleNamesByTarget(TargetArn => Str, [Limit => Int, NextToken => Str])

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatchEvents::ListRuleNamesByTarget

Returns: a Paws::CloudWatchEvents::ListRuleNamesByTargetResponse instance

  Lists the rules for the specified target. You can see which of the
rules in Amazon CloudWatch Events can invoke a specific target in your
account.

ListRules([Limit => Int, NamePrefix => Str, NextToken => Str])

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatchEvents::ListRules

Returns: a Paws::CloudWatchEvents::ListRulesResponse instance

  Lists your Amazon CloudWatch Events rules. You can either list all the
rules or you can provide a prefix to match to the rule names.

ListTargetsByRule(Rule => Str, [Limit => Int, NextToken => Str])

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatchEvents::ListTargetsByRule

Returns: a Paws::CloudWatchEvents::ListTargetsByRuleResponse instance

  Lists the targets assigned to the specified rule.

PutEvents(Entries => ArrayRef[Paws::CloudWatchEvents::PutEventsRequestEntry])

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatchEvents::PutEvents

Returns: a Paws::CloudWatchEvents::PutEventsResponse instance

  Sends custom events to Amazon CloudWatch Events so that they can be
matched to rules.

PutPermission(Action => Str, Principal => Str, StatementId => Str)

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatchEvents::PutPermission

Returns: nothing

  Running C<PutPermission> permits the specified AWS account to put
events to your account's default I<event bus>. CloudWatch Events rules
in your account are triggered by these events arriving to your default
event bus.

For another account to send events to your account, that external account must have a CloudWatch Events rule with your account's default event bus as a target.

To enable multiple AWS accounts to put events to your default event bus, run PutPermission once for each of these accounts.

The permission policy on the default event bus cannot exceed 10KB in size.

PutRule(Name => Str, [Description => Str, EventPattern => Str, RoleArn => Str, ScheduleExpression => Str, State => Str])

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatchEvents::PutRule

Returns: a Paws::CloudWatchEvents::PutRuleResponse instance

  Creates or updates the specified rule. Rules are enabled by default, or
based on value of the state. You can disable a rule using DisableRule.

When you create or update a rule, incoming events might not immediately start matching to new or updated rules. Please allow a short period of time for changes to take effect.

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

Most services in AWS treat : or / as the same character in Amazon Resource Names (ARNs). However, CloudWatch Events uses an exact match in event patterns and rules. Be sure to use the correct ARN characters when creating event patterns so that they match the ARN syntax in the event you want to match.

PutTargets(Rule => Str, Targets => ArrayRef[Paws::CloudWatchEvents::Target])

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatchEvents::PutTargets

Returns: a Paws::CloudWatchEvents::PutTargetsResponse instance

  Adds the specified targets to the specified rule, or updates the
targets if they are already associated with the rule.

Targets are the resources that are invoked when a rule is triggered.

You can configure the following as targets for CloudWatch Events:

  • EC2 instances

  • AWS Lambda functions

  • Streams in Amazon Kinesis Streams

  • Delivery streams in Amazon Kinesis Firehose

  • Amazon ECS tasks

  • AWS Step Functions state machines

  • Pipelines in Amazon Code Pipeline

  • Amazon Inspector assessment templates

  • Amazon SNS topics

  • Amazon SQS queues

  • The default event bus of another AWS account

Note that creating rules with built-in targets is supported only in the AWS Management Console.

For some target types, PutTargets provides target-specific parameters. If the target is an Amazon Kinesis stream, you can optionally specify which shard the event goes to by using the KinesisParameters argument. To invoke a command on multiple EC2 instances with one rule, you can use the RunCommandParameters field.

To be able to make API calls against the resources that you own, Amazon CloudWatch Events needs the appropriate permissions. For AWS Lambda and Amazon SNS resources, CloudWatch Events relies on resource-based policies. For EC2 instances, Amazon Kinesis streams, and AWS Step Functions state machines, CloudWatch Events relies on IAM roles that you specify in the RoleARN argument in PutTargets. For more information, see Authentication and Access Control in the Amazon CloudWatch Events User Guide.

If another AWS account is in the same region and has granted you permission (using PutPermission), you can send events to that account by setting that account's event bus as a target of the rules in your account. To send the matched events to the other account, specify that account's event bus as the Arn when you run PutTargets. If your account sends events to another account, your account is charged for each sent event. Each event sent to antoher account is charged as a custom event. The account receiving the event is not charged. For more information on pricing, see Amazon CloudWatch Pricing.

For more information about enabling cross-account events, see PutPermission.

Input, InputPath and InputTransformer are mutually exclusive and optional parameters of a target. When a rule is triggered due to a matched event:

  • If none of the following arguments are specified for a target, then the entire event is passed to the target in JSON form (unless the target is Amazon EC2 Run Command or Amazon ECS task, in which case nothing from the event is passed to the target).

  • If Input is specified in the form of valid JSON, then the matched event is overridden with this constant.

  • If InputPath is specified in the form of JSONPath (for example, $.detail), then only the part of the event specified in the path is passed to the target (for example, only the detail part of the event is passed).

  • If InputTransformer is specified, then one or more specified JSONPaths are extracted from the event and used as values in a template that you specify as the input to the target.

When you specify Input, InputPath, or InputTransformer, you must use JSON dot notation, not bracket notation.

When you add targets to a rule and the associated rule triggers soon after, new or updated targets might not be immediately invoked. Please allow a short period of time for changes to take effect.

This action can partially fail if too many requests are made at the same time. If that happens, FailedEntryCount is non-zero in the response and each entry in FailedEntries provides the ID of the failed target and the error code.

RemovePermission(StatementId => Str)

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatchEvents::RemovePermission

Returns: nothing

  Revokes the permission of another AWS account to be able to put events
to your default event bus. Specify the account to revoke by the
C<StatementId> value that you associated with the account when you
granted it permission with C<PutPermission>. You can find the
C<StatementId> by using DescribeEventBus.

RemoveTargets(Ids => ArrayRef[Str|Undef], Rule => Str)

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatchEvents::RemoveTargets

Returns: a Paws::CloudWatchEvents::RemoveTargetsResponse instance

  Removes the specified targets from the specified rule. When the rule is
triggered, those targets are no longer be invoked.

When you remove a target, when the associated rule triggers, removed targets might continue to be invoked. Please allow a short period of time for changes to take effect.

This action can partially fail if too many requests are made at the same time. If that happens, FailedEntryCount is non-zero in the response and each entry in FailedEntries provides the ID of the failed target and the error code.

TestEventPattern(Event => Str, EventPattern => Str)

Each argument is described in detail in: Paws::CloudWatchEvents::TestEventPattern

Returns: a Paws::CloudWatchEvents::TestEventPatternResponse instance

  Tests whether the specified event pattern matches the provided event.

Most services in AWS treat : or / as the same character in Amazon Resource Names (ARNs). However, CloudWatch Events uses an exact match in event patterns and rules. Be sure to use the correct ARN characters when creating event patterns so that they match the ARN syntax in the event you want to match.
