The described solution uses an Amazon CloudWatch Scheduled Rule which triggers an AWS Lambda function to check the AWS Health Organizational View API every 60 seconds. If there is an ongoing AWS Health issue, the issue updates its status-such as open, investigating, or closed-throughout the event.


Receiving notifications for AWS Health events can be done in multiple ways depending on your desired platform, from email notifications with Amazon SNS to account-specific chat notifications with AWS Chatbot. There’s now a much easier solution! Please see our blog post on AWS Health Aware – Customize AWS Health Alerts for Organizational and Personal AWS Accounts.
