Find SNS topics in AMS

Find SNS topics in AMS - AMS Advanced Onboarding Guide

Your SNS topics determine who is notified under various circumstances. AMS provides SNS topics for AMI notifications (see AMS AMI notifications with SNS), CloudWatch alarms and EC2 resources (see Receiving alerts generated by AMS) and more. To discover your existing SNS topics:

  • AWS Console: Use the SNS console to view all topics, applications, and subscriptions, and a graph of messages. Also create, delete, subscribe to, and publish to topics.

  • API/CLI (when logged into your AMS account, requires the AWS CLI):

    List your SNS topics:

    aws sns list-topics

    List your SNS subscriptions:

    aws sns list-subscriptions
Note

The AMS API/CLI (amscm and amsskms) endpoints are in the AWS N. Virginia Region, us-east-1. Depending on how your authentication is set, and what AWS Region your account and resources are in, you may need to add --region us-east-1 when issuing commands. You may also need to add --profile saml, if that is your authentication method.
