# salt.states.boto_cloudwatch_event

## Manage CloudTrail Objects

Added in version 2016.11.0.

Create and destroy CloudWatch event rules. Be aware that this interacts with Amazon's services, and so may incur charges.

This module uses `boto3`, which can be installed via package, or pip.

This module accepts explicit vpc credentials but can also utilize IAM roles assigned to the instance through Instance Profiles. Dynamic credentials are then automatically obtained from AWS API and no further configuration is necessary. More information available here.

If IAM roles are not used you need to specify them either in a pillar file or in the minion's config file:

    cloudwatch_event.keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
    cloudwatch_event.key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

It's also possible to specify `key`, `keyid` and `region` via a profile, either passed in as a dict, or as a string to pull from pillars or minion config:

    myprofile:
        keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
        key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs
            region: us-east-1

    Ensure event rule exists:
        boto_cloudwatch_event.present:
            - Name: mytrail
            - ScheduleExpression: 'rate(120 minutes)'
            - State: 'DISABLED'
            - Targets:
              - Id: "target1"
                Arn: "arn:aws:lambda:us-west-1:124456715622:function:my_function"
                Input: '{"arbitrary": "json"}'
            - region: us-east-1
            - keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
            - key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs
