Description

Creates a new event bus within your account. This can be a custom event bus which you can use to receive events from your custom applications and services, or it can be a partner event bus which can be matched to a partner event source.

Options

--name (string)

The name of the new event bus.

Custom event bus names can't contain the / character, but you can use the / character in partner event bus names. In addition, for partner event buses, the name must exactly match the name of the partner event source that this event bus is matched to.

You can't use the name default for a custom event bus, as this name is already used for your account's default event bus.

--event-source-name (string)

If you are creating a partner event bus, this specifies the partner event source that the new event bus will be matched with.

--description (string)

The event bus description.

--kms-key-identifier (string)

The identifier of the KMS customer managed key for EventBridge to use, if you choose to use a customer managed key to encrypt events on this event bus. The identifier can be the key Amazon Resource Name (ARN), KeyId, key alias, or key alias ARN.

If you do not specify a customer managed key identifier, EventBridge uses an Amazon Web Services owned key to encrypt events on the event bus.

For more information, see Managing keys in the Key Management Service Developer Guide .

Note

Archives and schema discovery are not supported for event buses encrypted using a customer managed key. EventBridge returns an error if:

  • You call `` CreateArchive `` on an event bus set to use a customer managed key for encryption.
  • You call `` CreateDiscoverer `` on an event bus set to use a customer managed key for encryption.
  • You call `` UpdatedEventBus `` to set a customer managed key on an event bus with an archives or schema discovery enabled.

To enable archives or schema discovery on an event bus, choose to use an Amazon Web Services owned key. For more information, see Data encryption in EventBridge in the Amazon EventBridge User Guide .

--dead-letter-config (structure)

Configuration details of the Amazon SQS queue for EventBridge to use as a dead-letter queue (DLQ).

For more information, see Event retry policy and using dead-letter queues in the EventBridge User Guide .

Arn -> (string)

The ARN of the SQS queue specified as the target for the dead-letter queue.

Shorthand Syntax:

Arn=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "Arn": "string"
}

--tags (list)

Tags to associate with the event bus.

(structure)

A key-value pair associated with an Amazon Web Services resource. In EventBridge, rules and event buses support tagging.

Key -> (string)

A string you can use to assign a value. The combination of tag keys and values can help you organize and categorize your resources.

Value -> (string)

The value for the specified tag key.

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Output

EventBusArn -> (string)

The ARN of the new event bus.

Description -> (string)

The event bus description.

KmsKeyIdentifier -> (string)

The identifier of the KMS customer managed key for EventBridge to use to encrypt events on this event bus, if one has been specified.

For more information, see Data encryption in EventBridge in the Amazon EventBridge User Guide .

DeadLetterConfig -> (structure)

Configuration details of the Amazon SQS queue for EventBridge to use as a dead-letter queue (DLQ).

For more information, see Event retry policy and using dead-letter queues in the EventBridge User Guide .

Arn -> (string)

The ARN of the SQS queue specified as the target for the dead-letter queue.
