How do I create event subscriptions to send alerts or notifications for AWS DMS?

Short description

Use AWS DMS event subscriptions to receive notifications when a specified event occurs for a replication task or replication instance. For example, you can receive notifications when replication instances are created or deleted.

For replication tasks, you can create subscriptions for the following events:

• Configuration change
• Creation
• Deletion
• Failure
• State change

For replication instances, you can create subscriptions for the following events:

• Configuration change
• Creation
• Deletion
• Failover
• Failure
• Low storage
• Maintenance

Resolution

1. Open the AWS DMS console, and then choose Event subscriptions.
2. Choose Create event subscription.
3. Enter a Name for your subscription.
4. Choose the Target and Event source. If you already created Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topics, select a topic. If you haven't created a topic, choose Create new email topic or Create new SMS topic. Then, enter the topic name and recipients.
5. For Event source, select replication-instance or replication-task.
6. Choose All event categories or Select specific event categories, such as deletion or creation.
7. Choose All tasks (or instances) or choose Select specific tasks (or instances).
8. Choose Create event subscription.

If you created the subscription with a new email topic, you receive a notification that asks you to confirm the subscription by clicking a link. Otherwise, you receive an SMS notification or confirmation email with the topic details, and a link to unsubscribe. For more information, see Subscribing to AWS DMS event notification.
