Overview
Constructs a service interface object. Each API operation is exposed as a function on service.
Service Description
Amazon EventBridge helps you to respond to state changes in your Amazon Web Services resources. When your resources change state, they automatically send events to an event stream. You can create rules that match selected events in the stream and route them to targets to take action. You can also use rules to take action on a predetermined schedule. For example, you can configure rules to:
-
Automatically invoke an Lambda function to update DNS entries when an event notifies you that Amazon EC2 instance enters the running state.
-
Direct specific API records from CloudTrail to an Amazon Kinesis data stream for detailed analysis of potential security or availability risks.
-
Periodically invoke a built-in target to create a snapshot of an Amazon EBS volume.
For more information about the features of Amazon EventBridge, see the Amazon EventBridge User Guide.
Sending a Request Using CloudWatchEvents
var cloudwatchevents = new AWS.CloudWatchEvents();
cloudwatchevents.listRuleNamesByTarget(params, function (err, data) {
if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
else console.log(data); // successful response
});
Locking the API Version
In order to ensure that the CloudWatchEvents object uses this specific API, you can
construct the object by passing the apiVersion
option to the constructor:
var cloudwatchevents = new AWS.CloudWatchEvents({apiVersion: '2015-10-07'});
You can also set the API version globally in AWS.config.apiVersions
using
the cloudwatchevents service identifier:
AWS.config.apiVersions = {
cloudwatchevents: '2015-10-07',
// other service API versions
};
var cloudwatchevents = new AWS.CloudWatchEvents();

Creating rules with built-in targets is supported only in the Management Console. The built-in targets are
EC2 CreateSnapshot API call
,EC2 RebootInstances API call
,EC2 StopInstances API call
, andEC2 TerminateInstances API call
.For some target types,
PutTargets
provides target-specific parameters. If the target is a Kinesis data stream, you can optionally specify which shard the event goes to by using theKinesisParameters
argument. To invoke a command on multiple EC2 instances with one rule, you can use theRunCommandParameters
field.To be able to make API calls against the resources that you own, Amazon EventBridge needs the appropriate permissions. For Lambda and Amazon SNS resources, EventBridge relies on resource-based policies. For EC2 instances, Kinesis Data Streams, Step Functions state machines and API Gateway REST APIs, EventBridge relies on IAM roles that you specify in the
RoleARN
argument inPutTargets
. For more information, see Authentication and Access Control in the Amazon EventBridge User Guide.If another Amazon Web Services account is in the same region and has granted you permission (using
PutPermission
), you can send events to that account. Set that account's event bus as a target of the rules in your account. To send the matched events to the other account, specify that account's event bus as theArn
value when you runPutTargets
. If your account sends events to another account, your account is charged for each sent event. Each event sent to another account is charged as a custom event. The account receiving the event is not charged. For more information, see Amazon EventBridge Pricing.Note:Input
,InputPath
, andInputTransformer
are not available withPutTarget
if the target is an event bus of a different Amazon Web Services account.If you are setting the event bus of another account as the target, and that account granted permission to your account through an organization instead of directly by the account ID, then you must specify a
RoleArn
with proper permissions in theTarget
structure. For more information, see Sending and Receiving Events Between Amazon Web Services Accounts in the Amazon EventBridge User Guide.For more information about enabling cross-account events, see PutPermission.
Input, InputPath, and InputTransformer are mutually exclusive and optional parameters of a target. When a rule is triggered due to a matched event:
-
If none of the following arguments are specified for a target, then the entire event is passed to the target in JSON format (unless the target is Amazon EC2 Run Command or Amazon ECS task, in which case nothing from the event is passed to the target).
-
If Input is specified in the form of valid JSON, then the matched event is overridden with this constant.
-
If InputPath is specified in the form of JSONPath (for example,
$.detail
), then only the part of the event specified in the path is passed to the target (for example, only the detail part of the event is passed). -
If InputTransformer is specified, then one or more specified JSONPaths are extracted from the event and used as values in a template that you specify as the input to the target.
When you specify
InputPath
orInputTransformer
, you must use JSON dot notation, not bracket notation.When you add targets to a rule and the associated rule triggers soon after, new or updated targets might not be immediately invoked. Allow a short period of time for changes to take effect.
This action can partially fail if too many requests are made at the same time. If that happens,
.FailedEntryCount
is non-zero in the response and each entry inFailedEntries
provides the ID of the failed target and the error code. -

Property Details
Method Details
activateEventSource(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Activates a partner event source that has been deactivated. Once activated, your matching event bus will start receiving events from the event source.
createApiDestination(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Creates an API destination, which is an HTTP invocation endpoint configured as a target for events.
createArchive(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Creates an archive of events with the specified settings. When you create an archive, incoming events might not immediately start being sent to the archive. Allow a short period of time for changes to take effect. If you do not specify a pattern to filter events sent to the archive, all events are sent to the archive except replayed events. Replayed events are not sent to an archive.
createConnection(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Creates a connection. A connection defines the authorization type and credentials to use for authorization with an API destination HTTP endpoint.
createEventBus(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Creates a new event bus within your account. This can be a custom event bus which you can use to receive events from your custom applications and services, or it can be a partner event bus which can be matched to a partner event source.
createPartnerEventSource(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Called by an SaaS partner to create a partner event source. This operation is not used by Amazon Web Services customers.
Each partner event source can be used by one Amazon Web Services account to create a matching partner event bus in that Amazon Web Services account. A SaaS partner must create one partner event source for each Amazon Web Services account that wants to receive those event types.
A partner event source creates events based on resources within the SaaS partner's service or application.
An Amazon Web Services account that creates a partner event bus that matches the partner event source can use that event bus to receive events from the partner, and then process them using Amazon Web Services Events rules and targets.
Partner event source names follow this format:
partner_name/event_namespace/event_name
partner_name is determined during partner registration and identifies the partner to Amazon Web Services customers. event_namespace is determined by the partner and is a way for the partner to categorize their events. event_name is determined by the partner, and should uniquely identify an event-generating resource within the partner system. The combination of event_namespace and event_name should help Amazon Web Services customers decide whether to create an event bus to receive these events.
deactivateEventSource(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
You can use this operation to temporarily stop receiving events from the specified partner event source. The matching event bus is not deleted.
When you deactivate a partner event source, the source goes into PENDING state. If it remains in PENDING state for more than two weeks, it is deleted.
To activate a deactivated partner event source, use ActivateEventSource.
deauthorizeConnection(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Removes all authorization parameters from the connection. This lets you remove the secret from the connection so you can reuse it without having to create a new connection.
deleteEventBus(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Deletes the specified custom event bus or partner event bus. All rules associated with this event bus need to be deleted. You can't delete your account's default event bus.
deletePartnerEventSource(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
This operation is used by SaaS partners to delete a partner event source. This operation is not used by Amazon Web Services customers.
When you delete an event source, the status of the corresponding partner event bus in the Amazon Web Services customer account becomes DELETED.
deleteRule(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Deletes the specified rule.
Before you can delete the rule, you must remove all targets, using RemoveTargets.
When you delete a rule, incoming events might continue to match to the deleted rule. Allow a short period of time for changes to take effect.
If you call delete rule multiple times for the same rule, all calls will succeed. When you call delete rule for a non-existent custom eventbus, ResourceNotFoundException
is returned.
Managed rules are rules created and managed by another Amazon Web Services service on your behalf. These rules are created by those other Amazon Web Services services to support functionality in those services. You can delete these rules using the Force
option, but you should do so only if you are sure the other service is not still using that rule.
describeApiDestination(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Retrieves details about an API destination.
describeEventBus(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Displays details about an event bus in your account. This can include the external Amazon Web Services accounts that are permitted to write events to your default event bus, and the associated policy. For custom event buses and partner event buses, it displays the name, ARN, policy, state, and creation time.
To enable your account to receive events from other accounts on its default event bus, use PutPermission.
For more information about partner event buses, see CreateEventBus.
describeEventSource(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
This operation lists details about a partner event source that is shared with your account.
describePartnerEventSource(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
An SaaS partner can use this operation to list details about a partner event source that they have created. Amazon Web Services customers do not use this operation. Instead, Amazon Web Services customers can use DescribeEventSource to see details about a partner event source that is shared with them.
describeReplay(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Retrieves details about a replay. Use DescribeReplay
to determine the progress of a running replay. A replay processes events to replay based on the time in the event, and replays them using 1 minute intervals. If you use StartReplay
and specify an EventStartTime
and an EventEndTime
that covers a 20 minute time range, the events are replayed from the first minute of that 20 minute range first. Then the events from the second minute are replayed. You can use DescribeReplay
to determine the progress of a replay. The value returned for EventLastReplayedTime
indicates the time within the specified time range associated with the last event replayed.
describeRule(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Describes the specified rule.
DescribeRule does not list the targets of a rule. To see the targets associated with a rule, use ListTargetsByRule.
disableRule(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Disables the specified rule. A disabled rule won't match any events, and won't self-trigger if it has a schedule expression.
When you disable a rule, incoming events might continue to match to the disabled rule. Allow a short period of time for changes to take effect.
enableRule(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Enables the specified rule. If the rule does not exist, the operation fails.
When you enable a rule, incoming events might not immediately start matching to a newly enabled rule. Allow a short period of time for changes to take effect.
listApiDestinations(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Retrieves a list of API destination in the account in the current Region.
listArchives(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Lists your archives. You can either list all the archives or you can provide a prefix to match to the archive names. Filter parameters are exclusive.
listConnections(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Retrieves a list of connections from the account.
listEventBuses(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Lists all the event buses in your account, including the default event bus, custom event buses, and partner event buses.
listEventSources(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
You can use this to see all the partner event sources that have been shared with your Amazon Web Services account. For more information about partner event sources, see CreateEventBus.
listPartnerEventSourceAccounts(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
An SaaS partner can use this operation to display the Amazon Web Services account ID that a particular partner event source name is associated with. This operation is not used by Amazon Web Services customers.
listPartnerEventSources(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
An SaaS partner can use this operation to list all the partner event source names that they have created. This operation is not used by Amazon Web Services customers.
listReplays(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Lists your replays. You can either list all the replays or you can provide a prefix to match to the replay names. Filter parameters are exclusive.
listRuleNamesByTarget(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Lists the rules for the specified target. You can see which of the rules in Amazon EventBridge can invoke a specific target in your account.
listRules(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Lists your Amazon EventBridge rules. You can either list all the rules or you can provide a prefix to match to the rule names.
ListRules does not list the targets of a rule. To see the targets associated with a rule, use ListTargetsByRule.
listTagsForResource(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Displays the tags associated with an EventBridge resource. In EventBridge, rules and event buses can be tagged.
listTargetsByRule(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Lists the targets assigned to the specified rule.
putEvents(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Sends custom events to Amazon EventBridge so that they can be matched to rules.
putPartnerEvents(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
This is used by SaaS partners to write events to a customer's partner event bus. Amazon Web Services customers do not use this operation.
putPermission(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Running PutPermission
permits the specified Amazon Web Services account or Amazon Web Services organization to put events to the specified event bus. Amazon EventBridge (CloudWatch Events) rules in your account are triggered by these events arriving to an event bus in your account.
For another account to send events to your account, that external account must have an EventBridge rule with your account's event bus as a target.
To enable multiple Amazon Web Services accounts to put events to your event bus, run PutPermission
once for each of these accounts. Or, if all the accounts are members of the same Amazon Web Services organization, you can run PutPermission
once specifying Principal
as "*" and specifying the Amazon Web Services organization ID in Condition
, to grant permissions to all accounts in that organization.
If you grant permissions using an organization, then accounts in that organization must specify a RoleArn
with proper permissions when they use PutTarget
to add your account's event bus as a target. For more information, see Sending and Receiving Events Between Amazon Web Services Accounts in the Amazon EventBridge User Guide.
The permission policy on the event bus cannot exceed 10 KB in size.
putRule(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Creates or updates the specified rule. Rules are enabled by default, or based on value of the state. You can disable a rule using DisableRule.
A single rule watches for events from a single event bus. Events generated by Amazon Web Services services go to your account's default event bus. Events generated by SaaS partner services or applications go to the matching partner event bus. If you have custom applications or services, you can specify whether their events go to your default event bus or a custom event bus that you have created. For more information, see CreateEventBus.
If you are updating an existing rule, the rule is replaced with what you specify in this PutRule
command. If you omit arguments in PutRule
, the old values for those arguments are not kept. Instead, they are replaced with null values.
When you create or update a rule, incoming events might not immediately start matching to new or updated rules. Allow a short period of time for changes to take effect.
A rule must contain at least an EventPattern or ScheduleExpression. Rules with EventPatterns are triggered when a matching event is observed. Rules with ScheduleExpressions self-trigger based on the given schedule. A rule can have both an EventPattern and a ScheduleExpression, in which case the rule triggers on matching events as well as on a schedule.
When you initially create a rule, you can optionally assign one or more tags to the rule. Tags can help you organize and categorize your resources. You can also use them to scope user permissions, by granting a user permission to access or change only rules with certain tag values. To use the PutRule
operation and assign tags, you must have both the events:PutRule
and events:TagResource
permissions.
If you are updating an existing rule, any tags you specify in the PutRule
operation are ignored. To update the tags of an existing rule, use TagResource and UntagResource.
Most services in Amazon Web Services treat : or / as the same character in Amazon Resource Names (ARNs). However, EventBridge uses an exact match in event patterns and rules. Be sure to use the correct ARN characters when creating event patterns so that they match the ARN syntax in the event you want to match.
In EventBridge, it is possible to create rules that lead to infinite loops, where a rule is fired repeatedly. For example, a rule might detect that ACLs have changed on an S3 bucket, and trigger software to change them to the desired state. If the rule is not written carefully, the subsequent change to the ACLs fires the rule again, creating an infinite loop.
To prevent this, write the rules so that the triggered actions do not re-fire the same rule. For example, your rule could fire only if ACLs are found to be in a bad state, instead of after any change.
An infinite loop can quickly cause higher than expected charges. We recommend that you use budgeting, which alerts you when charges exceed your specified limit. For more information, see Managing Your Costs with Budgets.
putTargets(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Adds the specified targets to the specified rule, or updates the targets if they are already associated with the rule.
Targets are the resources that are invoked when a rule is triggered.

, and EC2 TerminateInstances API call
.
For some target types, PutTargets
provides target-specific parameters. If the target is a Kinesis data stream, you can optionally specify which shard the event goes to by using the KinesisParameters

To be able to make API calls against the resources that you own, Amazon EventBridge needs the appropriate permissions. For Lambda and Amazon SNS resources, EventBridge relies on resource-based policies. For EC2 instances, Kinesis Data Streams, Step Functions state machines and API Gateway REST APIs, EventBridge relies on IAM roles that you specify in the RoleARN
argument in PutTargets
. For more information, see Authentication and Access Control in the Amazon EventBridge User Guide.
If another Amazon Web Services account is in the same region and has granted you permission (using PutPermission
), you can send events to that account. Set that account's event bus as a target of the rules in your account. To send the matched events to the other account, specify that account's event bus as the Arn
value when you run PutTargets
. If your account sends events to another account, your account is charged for each sent event. Each event sent to another account is charged as a custom event. The account receiving the event is not charged. For more information, see Amazon EventBridge Pricing.
Input
, InputPath
, and InputTransformer
are not available with PutTarget
if the target is an event bus of a different Amazon Web Services account. If you are setting the event bus of another account as the target, and that account granted permission to your account through an organization instead of directly by the account ID, then you must specify a RoleArn
with proper permissions in the Target
structure. For more information, see Sending and Receiving Events Between Amazon Web Services Accounts in the Amazon EventBridge User Guide.
For more information about enabling cross-account events, see PutPermission.
Input, InputPath, and InputTransformer are mutually exclusive and optional parameters of a target. When a rule is triggered due to a matched event:
-
If none of the following arguments are specified for a target, then the entire event is passed to the target in JSON format (unless the target is Amazon EC2 Run Command or Amazon ECS task, in which case nothing from the event is passed to the target).

-
If InputPath is specified in the form of JSONPath (for example,
$.detail
), then only the part of the event specified in the path is passed to the target (for example, only the detail part of the event is passed). -
If InputTransformer is specified, then one or more specified JSONPaths are extracted from the event and used as values in a template that you specify as the input to the target.
When you specify InputPath
or InputTransformer
, you must use JSON dot notation, not bracket notation.
When you add targets to a rule and the associated rule triggers soon after, new or updated targets might not be immediately invoked. Allow a short period of time for changes to take effect.
This action can partially fail if too many requests are made at the same time. If that happens, FailedEntryCount
is non-zero in the response and each entry in FailedEntries
provides the ID of the failed target and the error code.
removePermission(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Revokes the permission of another Amazon Web Services account to be able to put events to the specified event bus. Specify the account to revoke by the StatementId
value that you associated with the account when you granted it permission with PutPermission
. You can find the StatementId
by using DescribeEventBus.
removeTargets(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Removes the specified targets from the specified rule. When the rule is triggered, those targets are no longer be invoked.
When you remove a target, when the associated rule triggers, removed targets might continue to be invoked. Allow a short period of time for changes to take effect.
This action can partially fail if too many requests are made at the same time. If that happens, FailedEntryCount
is non-zero in the response and each entry in FailedEntries
provides the ID of the failed target and the error code.
startReplay(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Starts the specified replay. Events are not necessarily replayed in the exact same order that they were added to the archive. A replay processes events to replay based on the time in the event, and replays them using 1 minute intervals. If you specify an EventStartTime
and an EventEndTime
that covers a 20 minute time range, the events are replayed from the first minute of that 20 minute range first. Then the events from the second minute are replayed. You can use DescribeReplay
to determine the progress of a replay. The value returned for EventLastReplayedTime
indicates the time within the specified time range associated with the last event replayed.
tagResource(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Assigns one or more tags (key-value pairs) to the specified EventBridge resource. Tags can help you organize and categorize your resources. You can also use them to scope user permissions by granting a user permission to access or change only resources with certain tag values. In EventBridge, rules and event buses can be tagged.
Tags don't have any semantic meaning to Amazon Web Services and are interpreted strictly as strings of characters.
You can use the TagResource
action with a resource that already has tags. If you specify a new tag key, this tag is appended to the list of tags associated with the resource. If you specify a tag key that is already associated with the resource, the new tag value that you specify replaces the previous value for that tag.
You can associate as many as 50 tags with a resource.
testEventPattern(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Tests whether the specified event pattern matches the provided event.
Most services in Amazon Web Services treat : or / as the same character in Amazon Resource Names (ARNs). However, EventBridge uses an exact match in event patterns and rules. Be sure to use the correct ARN characters when creating event patterns so that they match the ARN syntax in the event you want to match.
