I found an article from 2017 saying that cloudwatch events now support codepipeline. How do I trigger a codepipeline once a day via cloudformation?

I thought it might look something like this, but I can't find any cloudformation examples regarding a scheduled trigger of a pipeline. I do also use webhooks to trigger my pipeline but I need to also run it once a day to update static pages with new data.

  EventRule:
    Type: AWS::Events::Rule
    Properties:
      ScheduleExpression: rate(1 day)
      Targets:
        - Arn: !GetAtt Pipeline.Arn
          Id: id-here

  Pipeline:
    Type: AWS::CodePipeline::Pipeline
    ...

Hi,

I want to pass Limit Amount and Current Usage as variables into an SNS topic.

Can this be done?

Below is a CloudWatch event from Trusted Advisor that contains these values I want to transform into human readable output:

{
  "version":"0",
  "id":"eda2dd4a-81df-d688-5f19-ef642ad7b486",
  "detail-type":"Trusted Advisor Check Item Refresh Notification",
  "source":"aws.trustedadvisor",
  "account":"929292782238",
  "time":"2018-07-10T01:06:15Z",
  "region":"us-east-1",
  "resources":[],
  "detail":{
    "check-name":"VPC Network Interfaces",
    "check-item-detail":{
        "Status":"Red",
        "Current Usage":"5",
        "Limit Name":"VPCs",
        "Region":"us-west-2",
        "Service":"VPC",
        "Limit Amount":"5"},
      "status":"ERROR",
      "resource_id":"",
      "uuid":"9ae2b76d-2a13-4174-9bd1-b8acfc381767"
  }
}

I have tried the following Input Path but get an invalid input path error:

{"service" : "$.detail.Service", "usage" : "$.detail.check-item-detail.Current Usage", "limit_amount" : "$.detail.Limit Amount"}

In the docs for Scheduled Events, accepted values for "Day-of-week" include * but trying to use that for scheduled Lambdas results in an error in CloudFormation stating the syntax is invalid.

Is this accurate?

https://github.com/awsdocs/amazon-cloudwatch-events-user-guide/blob/master/doc_source/ScheduledEvents.md

https://github.com/awsdocs/amazon-cloudwatch-events-user-guide/blob/master/doc_source/CloudWatch-Events-tutorial-ECS.md

It mentioned everything but Cloudtrail. From my experience it doesn't work otherwise you correctly setting up cloud trail and log object level API calls to a logGroup

If Cloudwatch Event triggers a Lambda which doesn't exit with success, Cloudwatch Event will trigger it again. Could be worth documenting if verified.

The description of the examples at the bottom of https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/events/ScheduledEvents.html#RateExpressions talks about 3 examples, but 4 are shown.

The code in the repo (last touched 3 months ago) does not have this problem (only 3 examples): https://github.com/awsdocs/amazon-cloudwatch-events-user-guide/blob/master/doc_source/ScheduledEvents.md#rate-expressions

Can the documentation for CWE --> SSM please be updated to include/explain that parameters in SSM automation documents should be in arrays. The current docs only provide an example of constants and API Reference docs, don't help either.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatchEvents/latest/APIReference/API_InputTransformer.html

For example the "AWS-EnableS3BucketEncryption" I've got it as follows in order for it to work:

~$ aws events list-targets-by-rule --rule ssm-testing
{
	"Targets": [
        {
			"RoleArn": "arn:aws:iam::12345678910:role/service-role/AWS_Events_Invoke_Start_Automation_Execution_338634571",
			"Id": "Id543190923011810",
			"Arn": "arn:aws:ssm:eu-west-1::automation-definition/AWS-EnableS3BucketEncryption:$DEFAULT",
			"InputTransformer": {
				"InputPathsMap": {
					"CustomInputBucketName": "$.detail.resourceId"
				},
				"InputTemplate": {
					"AutomationAssumeRole": ["arn:aws:iam::12345678910:role/AWS_SSMAutomationServiceRole"],
					"BucketName": [<CustomInputBucketName>],
					"SSEAlgorithm": ["AES256"]
				}
			}
		}
	]
}

The possible values for Glue Data Catalog Database State Change are wrong in the docs.

The docs list only CreateTable, UpdateTable, and CreateDatabase as possible values.

The actual possible values, according to these docs, are CreateDatabase, DeleteDatabase, CreateTable, DeleteTable and BatchDeleteTable. UpdateTable is not a possible value.
