We are excited to announce that HAQM CloudWatch Events now supports HAQM Kinesis Firehose as a target. 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 send the matching events to any HAQM Kinesis Firehose delivery stream enabling you near real-time analytics of event data with existing business intelligence tools and dashboards you’re already using today. HAQM Kinesis Firehose is the easiest way to load streaming data into AWS. It can capture, transform, and load streaming data into AWS services such as HAQM Kinesis Analytics, HAQM S3, HAQM Redshift, and HAQM Elasticsearch etc.
We have also published a blog post on how you can use this new feature to monitor and get near real time analytics on EC2 events.
