Using IoT Rules with IoT Jobs topics.

Question

Is there any way to access the data sent on the `$aws/things/thingName/jobs/jobId/update` topic through an IoT rule.? I know these messages don't go through the broker but I would like to be able to see the information provided in the statusDetails section of the `JobExecutionState`. If this isn't possible, what is the intended way to access the `JobExecutionState` provided on that topic? Thanks.

One of the possible solution is to make use of "DescribeJobExecution"[1] API call to get JobExecutionState. However as per your use case you want to access the data sent on $aws/things/thingName/jobs/jobId/update through an IoT rule for that first I would like to mention that unfortunately, there is no way to monitor job progress via job reserved topics from other than the device executing job. Having said that, I would recommend as a workaround you publish job status to an additional non-reserved topic by modifying job agent as a result your device will publish to reserved and non-reserved topic simultaneously and create a rule which will be triggered by this non-reserved topic.
