Event

Summary information about an AWS Health event.

AWS Health events can be public or account-specific:

Public events might be service events that are not specific to an AWS account. For example, if there is an issue with an AWS Region, AWS Health provides information about the event, even if you don't use services or resources in that Region.
Account-specific events are specific to either your AWS account or an account in your organization. For example, if there's an issue with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud in a Region that you use, AWS Health provides information about the event and the affected resources in the account.

You can determine if an event is public or account-specific by using the eventScopeCode parameter. For more information, see eventScopeCode.

arn

The unique identifier for the event. The event ARN has the arn:aws:health:event-region::event/SERVICE/EVENT_TYPE_CODE/EVENT_TYPE_PLUS_ID format.

For example, an event ARN might look like the following:

eventScopeCode

This parameter specifies if the AWS Health event is a public AWS service event or an account-specific event.

For example, if an event affects a service such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud and you have AWS accounts that use that service, those account IDs appear in the response.
If the eventScopeCode value is NONE, then the eventArn that you specified in the request is invalid or doesn't exist.
