Route monitoring alarms from Tencent Cloud Observability Platform to an EventBridge custom event bus through an HTTP webhook. This integration centralizes alarm management across cloud providers and enables event-driven automation, such as triggering functions or sending notifications when a Tencent Cloud alarm fires.

Event rules --> downstream targetsThe integration takes four steps:
Create an HTTP event source in EventBridge to generate a webhook URL.
Create an alarm notification template in Tencent Cloud that forwards alarms to the webhook URL.
Create an alarm policy in Tencent Cloud that defines what triggers the alarm.
Verify the integration to confirm events flow end-to-end.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have:
Registered a Tencent Cloud account with a running service that generates monitoring data (this guide uses TDMQ for Apache Pulsar as an example)
Step 1: Create an HTTP event source in EventBridge
Create an HTTP event source to generate a webhook URL that receives alarm notifications from Tencent Cloud.
Log on to the EventBridge console.
Create a custom event source of the HTTP/HTTPS Events type. For detailed instructions, see Create a custom event source of the HTTP/HTTPS Events type. Configure the following settings:
Parameter Value Description Request Type HTTP & HTTPS Accepts both HTTP and HTTPS requests. Request Method POST Tencent Cloud sends alarms as POST requests. Security Configuration Optional Allows requests without signature verification. Suitable for testing. For production, select a stricter option to prevent unauthorized access. After the event source is created, locate it in the event source list and click Details. Copy the Internet request URL. You will use this URL as the webhook endpoint in Tencent Cloud.
Step 2: Create an alarm notification template in Tencent Cloud
Set up a notification template that forwards alarm notifications to the EventBridge webhook URL.
Log on to the Tencent Cloud Observability Platform console.
In the left-side navigation pane, click Alarms.
On the Alarms page, click the Basic Configurations tab, and then click Notification Template.
On the Notification Template page, click Create.
On the Create Notification Template page, configure the template as needed.
In the Port Callback section, set the URLs parameter to the Internet request URL copied from Step 1.
Click Save.
Step 3: Create an alarm policy in Tencent Cloud
Define the monitoring conditions that trigger an alarm and associate the notification template from Step 2.
On the Alarms page, click Policies, and then click Create.
On the Create Alarm Policy page, configure the following settings:
Parameter Value Monitoring Type Cloud Service Metrics Policy Type TDMQ > Pulsar > Topic Trigger Condition Define your condition. For example, trigger an alarm when the number of producers does not equal 99. Notification Template Select the notification template created in Step 2. Click Save.
Step 4: Verify the integration
After the alarm policy takes effect, trigger the alarm condition on your monitored Tencent Cloud service, and then confirm that the event arrives in EventBridge.
Confirm the alarm on Tencent Cloud
Log on to the Tencent Cloud Observability Platform console.
Choose Alarms > Alarm Records.
Confirm that the alarm appears in the records.
Confirm the event in EventBridge
Log on to the EventBridge console.
In the top navigation bar, select the region where your custom event bus is deployed.
In the left-side navigation pane, click Event Buses.
Click Event Tracking to view the received events.
A successfully received event confirms that the integration is working.
What to do next
Create event rules: Set up rules on your custom event bus to filter, transform, and route Tencent Cloud alarm events to downstream targets.
Add more alarm policies: Create additional alarm policies in Tencent Cloud for different services and metrics. Each policy can use the same notification template to forward alarms to the same EventBridge webhook.
Strengthen security: For production environments, update the Security Configuration of your HTTP event source to require signature verification.
