This guide will help you add more AWS services and actions to the real-time monitoring system (AWS EagleEye), using the available custom role “custom-client-event-rule” in the EventBridge. You will need to perform the following steps through the AWS Management Console.

Steps to Add More Services and Actions #

1. Navigate to EventBridge:

• Open the AWS Management Console.
• In the navigation pane, choose Services and then select Amazon EventBridge.

2. Select the Event Bus:

• In the EventBridge console, select Event Buses from the left-hand menu.
• Choose the default event bus if you’re using the default setup or select the custom event bus used for your CloudFormation stack.

3. View Existing Rules:

• In the EventBridge console, choose Rules from the left-hand menu.
• Locate and select the rule named “custom-client-event-rule”.

4. Edit the Rule:

• After selecting the rule, click on Edit to modify the rule.
• Under Event Source, review the existing sources (e.g., “aws.ssm”).

5. Add New Event Sources:

• To add a new event source, click on Add event source.
• In the Event Source section, add new services by specifying their source names. For example, to add Lambda and RDS:
  • Source: “aws.lambda”
  • Source: “aws.rds”

6. Add Specific Event Patterns:

• Scroll down to the Event Pattern section.
• Add new event patterns for the services you want to include. For example, to add Lambda and RDS actions:

7. Save Changes:

• After updating the event sources and patterns, click Update to save the changes.

8. Verify the Changes:

• Perform actions related to the newly added services (e.g., creating/deleting a Lambda function or RDS instance).
• Check your logs and webhook to ensure that the events are being captured and processed correctly.

Example: Adding Lambda and RDS to the Custom Rule #

Here’s an example of how to add Lambda and RDS services to the “custom-client-event-rule”:

7. Verify the Changes:

• Perform test actions (e.g., creating a Lambda function).
• Check logs and webhooks to ensure events are captured.

By following these steps, you can easily extend your real-time monitoring (AWS EagleEye) system’s capabilities by including additional AWS services to it. This method ensures flexibility and scalability of your AWS Cloud account’s monitoring needs.
