Amazon CloudWatch Events JavaScript SDK v2 code examples

Purpose

The code examples in this directory demonstrate how to work with Amazon CloudWatch Events using the AWS SDK for JavaScript v2.

Amazon CloudWatch Events delivers a near real-time stream of system events that describe changes in Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources.

Code examples

API examples

• Put CloudWatch events
• Put CloudWatch event rule
• Put CloudWatch event targets

Important

• As an AWS best practice, grant this code least privilege, or only the permissions required to perform a task. For more information, see Grant least privilege in the AWS Identity and Access Management User Guide.
• This code has not been tested in all AWS Regions. Some AWS services are available only in specific AWS Regions. For more information, see the AWS Regional Services List on the AWS website.
• Running this code might result in charges to your AWS account.

Running the code

Prerequisites

• An AWS account. To create an account, see How do I create and activate a new AWS account on the AWS Premium Support website.
• AWS credentials. For details, see Setting credentials in Node.js in the AWS SDK for Javascript (v2) Developer Guide.
• The AWS SDK for JavaScript (v2). For AWS SDK for JavaScript download and installation instructions, see Installing the AWS SDK for JavaScript in the AWS SDK for JavaScript (v2) Developer Guide.

Most of these code example files can be run with very little to no modification. For example, to use Node.js to run the cwe_putevents.js file, replace the hard-coded values in the file with your own values, save the file, and then run the file. For example:

node cwe_putevents.js
