Integration: AWS Backup Notification
AWS Backup helps you to manage your backups from a central place. AWS Backup Notifications are a way to get insights into the service.
The following events are published:
BACKUP_JOB_STARTED
BACKUP_JOB_COMPLETED
RESTORE_JOB_STARTED
RESTORE_JOB_COMPLETED
RECOVERY_POINT_MODIFIED
BACKUP_PLAN_CREATED
BACKUP_PLAN_MODIFIED
To monitor backup jobs with marbot:
- Add marbot to Slack or Microsoft Teams.
- Invite marbot to a channel.
- Send
@marbot Create an SNS topic
to the channel. - Follow the wizard in the channel.
Unfortunately, AWS Backup does not provide a UI to enable notifications. But we can use the CLI:
aws sns list-topics # search for the topic name marbot-standalone-topic-* |
From now on, marbot will let you know about changes to the pipeline:
