  "detail-type":"CloudFormation Stack Status Change",
  "source":"aws.cloudformation",
  . . .,
  "detail":{
    "stack-id":"string",
    "status-details":{

      "status-reason":"string"
    },
    "client-request-token":"string"

detail-type

Identifies the type of event.

For stack status events, this value is CloudFormation Stack Status Change.

source

Identifies the service that generated the event. For CloudFormation events, this value is aws.cloudformation.

detail

A JSON object that contains information about the event. The service generating the event determines the content of this field.

For stack status events, this data includes:

stack-id

The unique stack ID associated with the stack.

status-details
status

Status of the stack.

For a complete list of stack status codes, see Stack status codes.

status-reason

Status reason of the resource.

client-request-token

An access token used to call the API. All events that are initiated by a given stack operation are assigned the same client request token, which you can use to track operations. Stack operations that are initiated from the console use the token format Console-StackOperation-ID, which helps you to easily identify the stack operation. For example, if you create a stack using the console, each resulting stack event would be assigned the same token in the following format: Console-CreateStack-7f59c3cf-00d2-40c7-b2ff-e75db0987002.
