Getting started with your AWS Health Dashboard – Your account health – Learn how to view events and affected entities and perform advanced filtering. This dashboard includes events that are specific to your account and organization.

AWS Health Dashboard – Service health – If you don't have an AWS account, you can view information about the health and statuses of AWS services for each AWS Region.
-
Monitoring AWS Health events with Amazon EventBridge – You can use Amazon EventBridge to receive push notifications from AWS Health.
-
Accessing the AWS Health API – The AWS Health API section describes the operations that retrieve information about events and entities.
AWS Health provides a console, called the AWS Health Dashboard, to all customers. You do not need to write code or perform any actions to set up the dashboard.
You can set up an EventBridge rule to receive AWS Health events on Amazon EventBridge. This provides a way to use push notifications to automate AWS Health events management by creating Amazon EventBridge rules to take actions.
If you have a Business, Enterprise On-Ramp, or Enterprise Support plan, you can access the information presented on the dashboard programmatically. You can use the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) or write code to make requests, by using either the REST API directly or the AWS SDKs.
For more information about using AWS Health events on Amazon EventBridge, see Monitoring AWS Health events with Amazon EventBridge. For more information about using AWS Health with the AWS CLI, see the AWS CLI Reference for AWS Health. For instructions for installing the AWS CLI, see Installing the AWS Command Line Interface.
