Amazon EventBridge Integration

​Amazon EventBridge is a serverless event bus that makes it easier to build event-driven applications at scale using events generated from your applications, integrated Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications, and AWS services.
In iLert

1.On the next page, click on the Associate with event bus button
1.On the next page in the permissions section, choose Organization and My organization - **then click on the Associate** button
1.To finished the configuration, you need to create a rule for the new event bus e.g. a rule for Amazon SQS. To do that, go to the EventBridge Rules, choose the Event bus and click on the Create rule button
