Cloud Watch Event Integration With Third Party Tool

Question

Hello Experts,

We have a use case to integrate third party tool with AWS Cloud Watch events for the event management. I have few queries.

in which format cloud watch event is generated and can it be sent to third party tool? I guess it is JSON format, but can someone confirm the same.

What are the other ways to capture those events or reroute the events from cloud watch agent to third party tool on premise.

Thanks in Advance.

Accepted Answer

EventBridge is  a newer type of CloudWatch Event, so I think it would be best to use EventBridge

From https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eventbridge/latest/userguide/eb-what-is.html
```
EventBridge was formerly called Amazon CloudWatch Events. The default event bus and the rules you created in CloudWatch Events also display in the EventBridge console. EventBridge uses the same CloudWatch Events API, so your code that uses the CloudWatch Events API stays the same. New features added to EventBridge are not added to CloudWatch Events.
```

You could create a `custom or partner event bus` and then send the events that match the pattern  to that `custom or partner event bus`

The source of events can be
1. All Events
2. AWS
3. Service Partners

A custom target example: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eventbridge/latest/userguide/eb-api-destination-partners.html
