Alerts on TA check

Yes, it is possible to monitor your Trusted Advisor checks and set up alerts for non-compliant resources. Here's how you can do it:

1. Enable Trusted Advisor Checks:

   • First, make sure that you have enabled the Trusted Advisor service in your AWS account. Trusted Advisor provides recommendations to help you follow AWS best practices.
   • You can enable Trusted Advisor by navigating to the Trusted Advisor console in the AWS Management Console.

2. Integrate Trusted Advisor with Amazon CloudWatch:

   • You can integrate Trusted Advisor with Amazon CloudWatch to receive notifications when Trusted Advisor checks identify non-compliant resources.
   • To do this, you need to create a CloudWatch event rule that triggers on Trusted Advisor check findings.
   • In the CloudWatch console, create a new event rule and select "Trusted Advisor Check Item Refreshed" as the event source.
   • You can then configure the event rule to take the desired actions, such as sending an SNS notification to your operations team.

3. Set up SNS Notifications:

   • Create an Amazon SNS topic and subscribe your operations team's email addresses or other communication channels to this topic.
   • In the CloudWatch event rule, configure the target to be the SNS topic you just created.

4. Customize Notifications:

   • You can customize the SNS notification content to include relevant information about the non-compliant resources, such as the check name, the resource, and the recommended action.
   • You can also configure CloudWatch to include additional details in the notification, such as the check description and the severity of the issue.

5. Regularly Review Trusted Advisor Recommendations:

   • In addition to setting up alerts, it's also important to regularly review the Trusted Advisor recommendations and address any non-compliant resources.
   • You can access the Trusted Advisor console to view the latest recommendations and track the status of the issues over time.

By following these steps, you can set up a comprehensive monitoring and alerting system to keep your operations team informed about non-compliant resources identified by Trusted Advisor. This will help you maintain the security and compliance of your AWS environment.
