What is the AWS service for sending out alerts and alarms based on specific events in an environment?

Amazon EventBridge is the preferred way to manage your events. CloudWatch Events and EventBridge are the same underlying service and API, but EventBridge provides more features. Changes you make in either CloudWatch or EventBridge will appear in each console. For more information, see Amazon EventBridge.

Amazon Elastic Container Registry Events

Amazon ECR sends image actions events to EventBridge. Events are sent when images are pushed, scanned, or deleted.

For Amazon ECS sample events, see Amazon ECR Events in the Amazon Elastic Container Registry User Guide.

Amazon Elastic Container Service Events

Amazon ECS sends two types of events to EventBridge: container instance events and task events. Container instance events are only sent if you are using the EC2 launch type for your tasks. For tasks using the Fargate launch type, you only receive task state events. Amazon ECS tracks the state of container instances and tasks. If either resources changes, an event is triggered. These events are classified as either container instance state change events or task state change events.

For Amazon ECS sample events, see Amazon ECS Events in the Amazon Elastic Container Service Developer Guide.

AWS Elemental MediaConvert Events

For MediaConvert sample events, see Using CloudWatch Events to Monitor AWS Elemental MediaConvert Jobs in the AWS Elemental MediaConvert User Guide.

AWS Elemental MediaPackage Events

For MediaPackage sample events, see Monitoring AWS Elemental MediaPackage with Amazon CloudWatch Events in the AWS Elemental MediaPackage User Guide.

AWS Elemental MediaStore Events

For MediaStore sample events, see Automating AWS Elemental MediaStore with CloudWatch Events in the AWS Elemental MediaStore User Guide.

Amazon EMR Events

Events reported by Amazon EMR have aws.emr as the value for Source, while Amazon EMR API events reported via CloudTrail have aws.elasticmapreduce as the value for Source.

WorkSpaces Events

For information about the WorkSpaces events, see Monitor Your WorkSpaces Using CloudWatch Events in the Amazon WorkSpaces Administration Guide.

Events Delivered Via CloudTrail

You can also use CloudWatch Events with services that do not emit events and are not listed on this page. AWS CloudTrail is a service that automatically records events such as AWS API calls. You can create CloudWatch Events rules that trigger on the information captured by CloudTrail. For more information about CloudTrail, see What is AWS CloudTrail?. For more information about creating a CloudWatch Events rule that uses CloudTrail, see Creating a CloudWatch Events Rule That Triggers on an AWS API Call Using AWS CloudTrail.

All events that are delivered via CloudTrail have AWS API Call via CloudTrail as the value for detail-type.

Some occurrences in AWS can be reported to CloudWatch Events both by the service itself and by CloudTrail, but in different ways. For example, an Amazon EC2 API call that launches or terminates an instance generates events available to CloudWatch Events through CloudTrail. However, the Amazon EC2 instance state changes, from ‘running’ to ‘terminating’ for example, are CloudWatch Events events themselves.

The following is an example of an event delivered via CloudTrail. The event was generated by an AWS API call to Amazon S3 to create a bucket.

AWS API call events that are larger than 256 KB in size are not supported. For more information about the API calls that you can use as triggers for rules, see Services Supported by CloudTrail Event History.
