Using Amazon SNS as an Alert Source

Navigate to Services -> Service Overview -> select or search for your Service. Expand the accordion -> In the Alert Sources section, click Add.

Important:

When an alert source turns Active, it’ll show up under Configured Alert Sources. You can either generate a test alert from the integration or wait for a real-time alert to be generated by the Alert Source. An Alert Source is active if there is a recorded incident via that Alert Source for the Service.

Create a Squadcast Webhook in Amazon SNS

Now log in to your AWS account and proceed to SNS.

Click on "Create topic" to configure the display name and related details. Fill in the details as per your requirements and then click on "Create topic".

Now inside the topic, click on "Create subscription" to get "Create subscription" page. Select the protocol as "HTTPS" and in the endpoint enter the URL that was copied from Squadcast. Finally, click on "Create subscription" to create the subscription.

Important

Ensure that the Enable raw message Delivery checkbox remains unchecked.

The "Subscription ID" for the subscription should immediately change from "PendingConfirmation" to "Confirmed". Click on the refresh button to verify the same.

Now you can go to any of your AWS services for which you want to set the Alarm. You can choose the new "Topic" you have created as the notification channel.

Your Amazon CloudWatch Integration is now good to go!

Whenever an Alarm moves to OK state the corresponding incident will automatically be resolved in Squadcast.
