Cloud Watch Event Integration With Third Party Tool

0

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.

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

  • thanks for the response. So the I read the link you shared. Our tool name is not listed in the document, so datadog details is given as an example and we could use API to integrate and consume events or we will have to use datadog only? new to AWS so have confusion.
