EventBridge rule groups and templates for monitoring your AWS media workflow
CloudWatch uses Amazon EventBridge rules to send notifications. You begin by creating an event template group. In that event template group, you create event templates that determine what conditions create a notification and who is notified.
This section covers the creation of EventBridge rules using workflow monitor. For more information about how the EventBridge service uses rules, see: EventBridge rules in the Amazon EventBridge User Guide
