AWS CloudWatch LAM Reference

The Access Key ID received at the time of creating the AWS account.

The encrypted access key id. To use this field, comment out the access_key_id field. If both fields are uncommented, then encrypted_access_key_id will be used.

The secret access key you receive when you create an AWS account.

An encrypted secret access key. To use this field, comment out the secret_access_key field. If both fields are uncommented, then encrypted_secret_access_key will be used.

Role ARN of the delegated role. If credentials (access_key_id and secret_access_key) are provided, it is assumed that it belongs to a user from the account trusted with role delegation. If no credentials are provided, SDK falls back on environment variables, SDK or instance roles for them.

Duration (in seconds) for which temporary credentials remain valid for sending requests to AWS.

When true, US Government and Chinese regions are not added when aws_all_regions is used in either the alarms or events filter. When false, all regions are included.

Filters alarms and/or events fetched from AWS CloudWatch by region. You can use a maximum of one alarm filter and one event filter at a time. By default, all alarms and events from your AWS account are forwarded to Moogsoft Enterprise. If you do not want to use filtering, comment out the filter section.

Example

filter:
{
    alarms:
    { 
        "aws_all_regions":
        {
            #alarm_name_prefix            : "",
            alarms_to_monitor             : ["alarm1", "alarm2"]
        }
        #,
        #"us-west-2":
        #{
        #    alarm_name_prefix            : "alarm",
        #    alarms_to_monitor             : ["3", "4"]
        #}
    
    events:
    {
        "aws_all_regions":
        {
            filter_pattern              : "scheduled",
            log_group_to_monitor         : ["/aws/lambda/event1"]
        }
        #,       
        #"ap-south-1":
        #{
        #    #filter_pattern               :"",
        #    log_group_to_monitor         :["/aws/lambda/event2", "/aws/lambda/event3"]
        #}
    }
}

Filters the alarms received from AWS CloudWatch by region. The alarm_name_prefix filters alarms based on their prefixes. The aws_all_regions filter applies to all regions that have not been separately filtered. Note that you can only use one of these filters at a time.

The LAM can fetch alarms from multiple regions.In the state file, there are 15 regions to fetch the alarms, and for logs there is one common timestamp which is used to fetch events from all the applicable regions. These are as follows:

"alarms":
        {
            "ap-south-1":1509610912603,
            "eu-west-3":1509610912603",
            "eu-west-2":1509610912603,
            "eu-west-1":1509610912603,
            "ap-northeast-2":1509610912603,
            "ap-northeast-1":1509610912603,
            "ca-central-1":1509610912603,
            "sa-east-1":1509610912603,
            "ap-southeast-1":1509610912603,
            "ap-southeast-2":1509610912603,
            "eu-central-1":1509610912603,
            "us-east-1":1509610912603,
            "us-east-2":1509610912603,
            "us-west-1":1509610912603,
            "us-west-2":1509610912603
        },

Filters the events from AWS CloudWatch by region. log_group_to_monitor specifies the log group to filter within a region. The filter_pattern filters events within the specified log group. The aws_all_regions filter applies to all regions that have not been separately filtered.
