Create an EventBridge rule for an Amazon S3 source (CLI)

To create an AWS CloudTrail trail and enable logging

To use the AWS CLI to create a trail, call the create-trail command, specifying:

The trail name.
The bucket to which you have already applied the bucket policy for AWS CloudTrail.

For more information, see Creating a trail with the AWS command line interface.

Call the create-trail command and include the --name and --s3-bucket-name parameters.

Why am I making this change? This creates the CloudTrail trail required for your S3 source bucket.

The following command uses --name and --s3-bucket-name to create a trail named my-trail and a bucket named myBucket.
```
aws cloudtrail create-trail --name my-trail --s3-bucket-name myBucket
```
Call the start-logging command and include the --name parameter.

Why am I making this change? This command starts the CloudTrail logging for your source bucket and sends events to EventBridge.

Example:

The following command uses --name to start logging on a trail named my-trail.
```
aws cloudtrail start-logging --name my-trail
```
Call the put-event-selectors command and include the --trail-name and --event-selectors parameters. Use event selectors to specify that you want your trail to log data events for your source bucket and send the events to the EventBridge rule.

Why am I making this change? This command filters events.

Example:

The following command uses --trail-name and --event-selectors to specify data events for a source bucket and prefix named myBucket/myFolder.
```
aws cloudtrail put-event-selectors --trail-name my-trail --event-selectors '[{ "ReadWriteType": "WriteOnly", "IncludeManagementEvents":false, "DataResources": [{ "Type": "AWS::S3::Object", "Values": ["arn:aws:s3:::myBucket/myFolder/file.zip"] }] }]'
```

To create an EventBridge rule with Amazon S3 as the event source and CodePipeline as the target and apply the permissions policy

Grant permissions for EventBridge to use CodePipeline to invoke the rule. For more information, see Using resource-based policies for Amazon EventBridge.

Use the following sample to create the trust policy to allow EventBridge to assume the service role. Name it trustpolicyforEB.json.


{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Principal": {
                "Service": "events.amazonaws.com"
            },
            "Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
        }
    ]
}

Use the following command to create the Role-for-MyRule role and attach the trust policy.

Why am I making this change? Adding this trust policy to the role creates permissions for EventBridge.
```
aws iam create-role --role-name Role-for-MyRule --assume-role-policy-document file://trustpolicyforEB.json
```

Create the permissions policy JSON, as shown here for the pipeline named MyFirstPipeline. Name the permissions policy permissionspolicyforEB.json.


{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "codepipeline:StartPipelineExecution"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:codepipeline:us-west-2:80398EXAMPLE:MyFirstPipeline"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Use the following command to attach the new CodePipeline-Permissions-Policy-for-EB permissions policy to the Role-for-MyRule role you created.
```
aws iam put-role-policy --role-name Role-for-MyRule --policy-name CodePipeline-Permissions-Policy-For-EB --policy-document file://permissionspolicyforEB.json
```

Call the put-rule command and include the --name, --event-pattern, and --role-arn parameters.

The following sample command creates a rule named MyS3SourceRule.


aws events put-rule --name "MyS3SourceRule" --event-pattern "{\"source\":[\"aws.s3\"],\"detail-type\":[\"AWS API Call via CloudTrail\"],\"detail\":{\"eventSource\":[\"s3.amazonaws.com\"],\"eventName\":[\"CopyObject\",\"PutObject\",\"CompleteMultipartUpload\"],\"requestParameters\":{\"bucketName\":[\"my-bucket\"],\"key\":[\"my-key\"]}}}
 --role-arn "arn:aws:iam::ACCOUNT_ID:role/Role-for-MyRule"

To add CodePipeline as a target, call the put-targets command and include the --rule and --targets parameters.

The following command specifies that for the rule named MyS3SourceRule, the target Id is composed of the number one, indicating that in a list of targets for the rule, this is target 1. The command also specifies an example ARN for the pipeline. The pipeline starts when something changes in the repository.
```
aws events put-targets --rule MyS3SourceRule --targets Id=1,Arn=arn:aws:codepipeline:us-west-2:80398EXAMPLE:TestPipeline
```

To edit your pipeline's PollForSourceChanges parameter

Important

When you create a pipeline with this method, the PollForSourceChanges parameter defaults to true if it is not explicitly set to false. When you add event-based change detection, you must add the parameter to your output and set it to false to disable polling. Otherwise, your pipeline starts twice for a single source change. For details, see Default settings for the PollForSourceChanges parameter.

Run the get-pipeline command to copy the pipeline structure into a JSON file. For example, for a pipeline named MyFirstPipeline, run the following command:
```
aws codepipeline get-pipeline --name MyFirstPipeline >pipeline.json
```
This command returns nothing, but the file you created should appear in the directory where you ran the command.
Open the JSON file in any plain-text editor and edit the source stage by changing the PollForSourceChanges parameter for a bucket named storage-bucket to false, as shown in this example.

Why am I making this change? Setting this parameter to false turns off periodic checks so you can use event-based change detection only.
```
"configuration": {
    "S3Bucket": "storage-bucket",
    "PollForSourceChanges": "false",
    "S3ObjectKey": "index.zip"
},
```
If you are working with the pipeline structure retrieved using the get-pipeline command, you must remove the metadata lines from the JSON file. Otherwise, the update-pipeline command cannot use it. Remove the "metadata": { } lines and the "created", "pipelineARN", and "updated" fields.

For example, remove the following lines from the structure:
```
"metadata": {
    "pipelineArn": "arn:aws:codepipeline:region:account-ID:pipeline-name",
    "created": "date",
    "updated": "date"
},
```
Save the file.
To apply your changes, run the update-pipeline command, specifying the pipeline JSON file:

Important
Be sure to include file:// before the file name. It is required in this command.
```
aws codepipeline update-pipeline --cli-input-json file://pipeline.json
```
This command returns the entire structure of the edited pipeline.

Note
The update-pipeline command stops the pipeline. If a revision is being run through the pipeline when you run the update-pipeline command, that run is stopped. You must manually start the pipeline to run that revision through the updated pipeline. Use the start-pipeline-execution command to manually start your pipeline.
