AWS EventBridge

Amazon EventBridge is a serverless event bus that makes it easy to connect applications together using data from your own applications, integrated Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications, and AWS services. EventBridge delivers a stream of real-time data from event sources, and routes that data to targets like AWS Lambda.

Sigma IDE currently supports publishing such events via Lambda functions to one or more Event Buses that exists in your AWS account.

If you need to trigger your Lambda function based on events from an Event Bus, please refer to Event Pattern Rules in the CloudWatch Events trigger component.

Publishing events to EventBridge

To publish events to EventBridge from a Lambda function, first drag an EventBridge resource from the resources panel and drop on the required line of the lambda code editor. Then on the configuration panel, select Put Events as the Operation.

After that, the Add Event button can be used to add one or more events to be published via this operation. Each such events should have the following fields.

Field	Required	Supports Variables	Description
Event Bus			The event bus that should receive the event
Source			The source of the event
Time			The time stamp of the event, per RFC3339. If this is not provided, the time stamp of the PutEvents call will be used.
Resources			AWS resources, identified by Amazon Resource Name (ARN), which the event primarily concerns
Detail Type			Free-form string used to decide what fields to expect in the event detail
Detail			A valid JSON string that contains the event fields and nested sub-objects
