Overview

Note

The Event Query feature has been renamed to Event Tracking. All functionality remains unchanged.

Introduction

Event tracking helps you diagnose issues, such as when an event target fails to receive an event published from the EventBridge console or when the received event is not as you expected. This feature pinpoints the specific stage and cause of problems during delivery.

With event tracking, you can also understand how EventBridge processes an event, identify any latency, and determine its source.

Query modes

You can use the event tracking feature to query events in the following modes:

• Query by Event ID

  When you use a EventBridge custom event bus to receive events from your applications, you can query for their event traces and event details by event ID.

• Query by Time Range

  When you use the EventBridge system event bus to receive events from a cloud service, you can query for events within a specific time range. This method retrieves multiple events at once, allowing you to view the traces and details for each one.

Event traces

Event traces show an event's processing path within EventBridge, which includes the following stages:

• Receive event

  You can view the time when EventBridge receives an event, along with the event's source and type.

• Filter event

  You can see the rule matching performed on the event by EventBridge.

• Deliver event

  You can see information such as the time and status of events delivered by EventBridge to an event target.

Event details

Event details show the detailed parameters of an event in EventBridge.

For more information about the parameters, see Event overview.
