Adds the specified targets to the specified rule, or updates the targets if they are already associated with the rule.
cloudwatchevents_put_targets(Rule, EventBusName, Targets)
[required] The name of the rule.
The name of the event bus associated with the rule. If you omit this, the default event bus is used.
[required] The targets to update or add to the rule.

Targets are the resources that are invoked when a rule is triggered.
You can configure the following as targets for Events:
EC2 instances
SSM Run Command
SSM Automation
AWS Lambda functions
Data streams in Amazon Kinesis Data Streams
Data delivery streams in Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose
Amazon ECS tasks
AWS Step Functions state machines
AWS Batch jobs
AWS CodeBuild projects
Pipelines in AWS CodePipeline
Amazon Inspector assessment templates
Amazon SNS topics
Amazon SQS queues, including FIFO queues
The default event bus of another AWS account
Amazon API Gateway REST APIs
Creating rules with built-in targets is supported only in the AWS
Management Console. The built-in targets are
EC2 CreateSnapshot API call
, EC2 RebootInstances API call
,
EC2 StopInstances API call
, and EC2 TerminateInstances API call
.
For some target types, PutTargets
provides target-specific parameters.
If the target is a Kinesis data stream, you can optionally specify which
shard the event goes to by using the KinesisParameters
argument. To
invoke a command on multiple EC2 instances with one rule, you can use
the RunCommandParameters
field.
To be able to make API calls against the resources that you own, Amazon
EventBridge (CloudWatch Events) needs the appropriate permissions. For
AWS Lambda and Amazon SNS resources, EventBridge relies on
resource-based policies. For EC2 instances, Kinesis data streams, AWS
Step Functions state machines and API Gateway REST APIs, EventBridge
relies on IAM roles that you specify in the RoleARN
argument in
PutTargets
. For more information, see Authentication and Access Control
in the Amazon EventBridge User Guide.
If another AWS account is in the same region and has granted you
permission (using PutPermission
), you can send events to that account.
Set that account\'s event bus as a target of the rules in your account.
To send the matched events to the other account, specify that account\'s
event bus as the Arn
value when you run PutTargets
. If your account
sends events to another account, your account is charged for each sent
event. Each event sent to another account is charged as a custom event.
The account receiving the event is not charged. For more information,
see Amazon EventBridge (CloudWatch Events) Pricing.
Input
, InputPath
, and InputTransformer
are not available with
PutTarget
if the target is an event bus of a different AWS account.
If you are setting the event bus of another account as the target, and
that account granted permission to your account through an organization
instead of directly by the account ID, then you must specify a RoleArn
with proper permissions in the Target
structure. For more information,
see Sending and Receiving Events Between AWS Accounts
in the Amazon EventBridge User Guide.
For more information about enabling cross-account events, see PutPermission.
Input, InputPath, and InputTransformer are mutually exclusive and optional parameters of a target. When a rule is triggered due to a matched event:
If none of the following arguments are specified for a target, then the entire event is passed to the target in JSON format (unless the target is Amazon EC2 Run Command or Amazon ECS task, in which case nothing from the event is passed to the target).
If Input is specified in the form of valid JSON, then the matched event is overridden with this constant.
If InputPath is specified in the form of JSONPath (for example,
$.detail
), then only the part of the event specified in the path
is passed to the target (for example, only the detail part of the
event is passed).
If InputTransformer is specified, then one or more specified JSONPaths are extracted from the event and used as values in a template that you specify as the input to the target.
When you specify InputPath
or InputTransformer
, you must use JSON
dot notation, not bracket notation.
When you add targets to a rule and the associated rule triggers soon after, new or updated targets might not be immediately invoked. Allow a short period of time for changes to take effect.
This action can partially fail if too many requests are made at the same
time. If that happens, FailedEntryCount
is non-zero in the response
and each entry in FailedEntries
provides the ID of the failed target
and the error code.
