Alarm events and EventBridge
Sample events for Elastic Disaster Recovery
The following are sample events for Elastic Disaster Recovery:
Source server data replication status
These events are triggered when source servers' data replication state changes from Stalled (replication not functioning properly) and not stalled (replication is functioning as expected).

Registering event rules
You create EventBridge rules that capture events coming from your Elastic Disaster Recovery resources.
Note
When you use the AWS Management Console to create an event rule, the console automatically adds the IAM permissions necessary to grant EventBridge Event permissions to call your desired target type. If you are creating an event rule using the AWS CLI, you must grant permissions explicitly. For more information, see Event Patterns in theAmazon EventBridge User Guide.
To create Amazon EventBridge rules
Open the Amazon EventBridge console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/events/
. -
Using the following values, create an EventBridge rule that captures events coming from Elastic Disaster Recovery resources:
-
For Rule type, choose Rule with an event pattern.
-
For Event source, choose Other.
-
For Event pattern, choose Custom patterns (JSON editor), and paste one of the following event pattern examples into the text area:
-
To catch all Elastic Disaster Recovery events:
{ "source": [ "aws.drs" ] } -
To catch all Recovery instance failback state changes:
{ "detail-type": [ "DRS Recovery Instance Failback State Change" ], "source": [ "aws.drs" ] } -
To catch all events relating to a given Source server:
{ "source": [ "aws.drs" ], "resources": [ "arn:aws:drs:us-west-2:111122223333:source-server/s-12345678901234567" ] }
-
-
For Target types, chooseAWS service, and for Select a target choose your desired target.
For details about creating rules, see Creating Amazon EventBridge rules that react to events in theAmazon EventBridge User Guide.
