Alert Trigger

Alert Trigger that Sends alert messages to Alert Kinesis Stream

Prerequisites For Setup

If this project is deployed in an account that is different from the main account where the Alert System was deployed, we need to add a permission for the account to access the Destination in the main account.

• Go to the Lambda console of the main account and ‘us-east-1’ region

• Find a function called ‘SungardAS-Alerts- Permission-xxxx’ and configure the test event as below:

{
    "region": "<region name where this project is deployed>",
    "account": "<account number where this project is deployed>",
    "destinationName": "<destination name defined in main Alert System; 'alertDestination' if not changed>"
}

• Run Test to execute this lambda function
