Amazon EventBridge is a serverless event bus that connects applications together by using data from the following:
- Your applications.
- Integrated Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications.
- AWS services.
EventBridge delivers a stream of real-time data from event sources and routes that data to targets like AWS Lambda.
- Routing rule are setup to specify where the data is sent. This data is used to build application architectures that react in real-time to all of your data sources.
- EventBridge takes care of event ingestion and delivery, security, authorization, and error handling.
The AWS::Events::Rule resource creates a rule that matches incoming events and routes them to one or more targets for processing.
- A rule must contain at least an event pattern or schedule expression.
- Rules with event pattern are triggered when a matching event is observed.
- Rules with schedule expression self-trigger based on the given schedule.
- A rule can have both an event pattern and a schedule expression, in which case, the rule triggers on matching events and on a schedule.
Use the AWS public cloud integration to discover and collect metrics against the AWS service.

Supported metrics
| OpsRamp Metric | Metric Display Name | Unit | Aggregation Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| aws_events_MatchedEvents Measures the number of events that matched with any rule. | MatchedEvents | Count | Average |
| aws_events_FailedInvocations Measures the number of invocations that failed permanently. This does not include invocations that are retried, or that succeeded after a retry. It also does not count failed invocations that are counted in DeadLetterInvocations. | FailedInvocations | Count | Average |
| aws_events_TriggeredRules Measures the number of triggered rules that matched with any event. | TriggeredRules | Count | Average |
| aws_events_Invocations Measures the number of times a target is invoked for a bus in response to an event. This includes successful and failed invocations, but does not include throttles or retries until they fail permanently. It does not include DeadLetterInvocations. | Invocations | Count | Average |
