2016/03/08 - Amazon CloudWatch Events - 12 new api methods
Deletes a rule. You must remove all targets from a rule using RemoveTargets before you can delete the rule.
Note: When you delete a rule, incoming events might still continue to match to the deleted rule. Please allow a short period of time for changes to take effect.
Request Syntax
client.delete_rule(
Name='string'
)
string
[REQUIRED]
The name of the rule to be deleted.
None
Disables a rule. A disabled rule won't match any events, and won't self-trigger if it has a schedule expression.
Note: When you disable a rule, incoming events might still continue to match to the disabled rule. Please allow a short period of time for changes to take effect.
Request Syntax
client.disable_rule(
Name='string'
)
string
[REQUIRED]
The name of the rule you want to disable.
None
Tests whether an event pattern matches the provided event.
Note: Most services in AWS treat : or / as the same character in Amazon Resource Names (ARNs). However, CloudWatch Events uses an exact match in event patterns and rules. Be sure to use the correct ARN characters when creating event patterns so that they match the ARN syntax in the event you want to match.
Request Syntax
client.test_event_pattern(
EventPattern='string',
Event='string'
)
string
[REQUIRED]
The event pattern you want to test.
string
[REQUIRED]
The event in the JSON format to test against the event pattern.

(dict) --
Targets are the resources that can be invoked when a rule is triggered. For example, AWS Lambda functions, Amazon Kinesis streams, and built-in targets.
Input and InputPath are mutually-exclusive and optional parameters of a target. When a rule is triggered due to a matched event, if for a target:
Neither Input nor InputPath is specified, then the entire event is passed to the target in JSON form.
InputPath is specified in the form of JSONPath (e.g. $.detail), then only the part of the event specified in the path is passed to the target (e.g. only the detail part of the event is passed).
Input is specified in the form of a valid JSON, then the matched event is overridden with this constant.
Id (string) --
The unique target assignment ID.
Arn (string) --
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) associated of the target.
Input (string) --
Valid JSON text passed to the target. For more information about JSON text, see The JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Data Interchange Format.
InputPath (string) --
The value of the JSONPath that is used for extracting part of the matched event when passing it to the target. For more information about JSON paths, see JSONPath.
NextToken (string) --
Indicates that there are additional results to retrieve.
Creates or updates a rule. Rules are enabled by default, or based on value of the State parameter. You can disable a rule using DisableRule.
Note: When you create or update a rule, incoming events might not immediately start matching to new or updated rules. Please allow a short period of time for changes to take effect.
A rule must contain at least an EventPattern or ScheduleExpression. Rules with EventPatterns are triggered when a matching event is observed. Rules with ScheduleExpressions self-trigger based on the given schedule. A rule can have both an EventPattern and a ScheduleExpression, in which case the rule will trigger on matching events as well as on a schedule.
Note: Most services in AWS treat : or / as the same character in Amazon Resource Names (ARNs). However, CloudWatch Events uses an exact match in event patterns and rules. Be sure to use the correct ARN characters when creating event patterns so that they match the ARN syntax in the event you want to match.

Adds target(s) to a rule. Targets are the resources that can be invoked when a rule is triggered. For example, AWS Lambda functions, Amazon Kinesis streams, and built-in targets. Updates the target(s) if they are already associated with the role. In other words, if there is already a target with the given target ID, then the target associated with that ID is updated.
In order to be able to make API calls against the resources you own, Amazon CloudWatch Events needs the appropriate permissions. For AWS Lambda and Amazon SNS resources, CloudWatch Events relies on resource-based policies. For Amazon Kinesis streams, CloudWatch Events relies on IAM roles. For more information, see Permissions for Sending Events to Targets in the Amazon CloudWatch Developer Guide.
Input and InputPath are mutually-exclusive and optional parameters of a target. When a rule is triggered due to a matched event, if for a target:
Neither Input nor InputPath is specified, then the entire event is passed to the target in JSON form.
InputPath is specified in the form of JSONPath (e.g. $.detail), then only the part of the event specified in the path is passed to the target (e.g. only the detail part of the event is passed).
Input is specified in the form of a valid JSON, then the matched event is overridden with this constant.
Note: When you add targets to a rule, when the associated rule triggers, new or updated targets might not be immediately invoked. Please allow a short period of time for changes to take effect.
