The HAQM CloudWatch Events service now supports HAQM Simple Queue Service (SQS) queues as event targets.

HAQM CloudWatch Events enables you to respond quickly to application availability issues or configuration changes that might impact performance or security by notifying you of AWS resource changes in near-real-time. You simply write rules to indicate which events are of interest to your application and what automated action to take when a rule matches an event. You can, for example, invoke AWS Lambda functions or notify an HAQM Simple Notification Service (SNS) topic. Now you can also send the matching events to an HAQM SQS queue. 

You can get started monitoring system events in the CloudWatch Events console, or by reading our documentation
