# AWS Personal Health Dashboard Integration
[AWS Personal Health Dashboard](https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/technology/personal-health-dashboard/) provides alerts and remediation guidance when AWS is experiencing events that may impact you.
With ilert's AWS Personal Health Dashboard integration, you can automatically create alerts in ilert from problems in AWS Personal Health Dashboard. That way, you will never miss a critical alert and always alert the right person using ilert's on-call schedules, automatic escalation, and multiple alerting channels. When AWS Personal Health Dashboard reports an issue, ilert will alert the on-call person through their preferred channel, including SMS, phone calls, push notifications and Slack. ilert will automatically escalate to the next person, if the alert is not acknowledged. ilert also lets you define alerting rules based on support hours and delay alerts until your support hours start.
## In ilert: Create an AWS Personal Health Dashboard alert source
1. Go to **Alert sources** --> **Alert sources** and click on **Create new alert source**
2. Search for **AWS Personal Health Dashboard** in the search field, click on the AWS Personal Health Dashboard tile and click on **Next**.
3. Give your alert source a name, optionally assign teams and click **Next**.
4. Select an **escalation policy** by creating a new one or assigning an existing one.
5. Select you [Alert grouping](https://docs.ilert.com/alerting/alert-sources#alert-grouping) preference and click **Continue setup**. You may click **Do not group alerts** for now and change it later.
6. The next page show additional settings such as customer alert templates or notification prioritiy. Click on **Finish setup** for now.
7. On the final page, an API key and / or webhook URL will be generated that you will need later in this guide.
## In AWS: Create a SNS topic
> If you have already created an SNS topic for your AWS Personal Health Dashboard that you want to reuse, you can proceed to step 3.
1. In the SNS Dashboard click on **Create topic**
2. Name the topic and click on **Create topic**
3. Click on **Create subscription** on the Topic Detail page
4. In the **Topic ARN** section, ensure that the **SNS Topic** that you generated is selected
5. In the **Protocol** section, choose the **HTTPS** protocol
6. In the **Endpoint** section, paste the **Webhook URL** that you generated in ilert
7. In the **Enable raw message delivery** section, ensure that the checkbox is unchecked
8. Click on **Create subscription**
9. The subscription is **automatically confirmed by ilert** when it is created. After updating the overview, the status "PendingConfirmation" should disappear, and the ID should be displayed.
## In AWS EventBridge: Create an Event bus Rule
AWS Health generates events that are relayed by AWS EventBridge. You now create an EventBridge rule that matches these events and publishes them to the SNS topic you created above.
1. In the AWS EventBridge console, click on **Rules** and then on **Create rule**.
2. Select **Advanced builder** as builder mode, enter a **Name** for the rule, leave the **default** event bus selected and click on **Next**.
3. Select **Custom pattern (JSON editor)** as creation method, enter the following **Event pattern** and click on **Next**:
```json
{
"source": ["aws.health"],
"detail-type": ["AWS Health Event"]
}
```
> To only receive events for specific AWS services, add a `service` filter to the `detail` object, e.g. `"detail": { "service": ["EC2", "RDS"] }`.
4. As **Target types** select **AWS service**, choose **SNS topic** as target, select the topic you created before and click on **Next**. You may skip the tags step.
5. Review your settings and click on **Create rule** to finish the setup.
