AWS CloudWatch

Create the integration in NOCBuddy

In NOCBuddy, go to Settings → Integrations → New Integration and choose AWS CloudWatch (via SNS). Field mapping and severity are pre-configured. Copy the webhook URL it gives you.

Point AWS CloudWatch at NOCBuddy

1. In SNS, create a topic (or use an existing one) and add a subscription with protocol HTTPS and your NOCBuddy webhook URL as the endpoint
2. NOCBuddy confirms the subscription automatically — it should show as Confirmed within a few seconds
3. In CloudWatch, set your alarms' notification actions (ALARM and OK) to publish to that SNS topic
4. ALARM creates an alert and OK closes it. INSUFFICIENT_DATA notifications are ignored

Menu names can vary a little between AWS CloudWatch versions. Stuck? Send a test alert — if it doesn't appear, the integration's Raw Events log shows exactly what arrived.

Recoveries close alerts automatically

When AWS CloudWatch reports the problem is over, NOCBuddy resolves the matching alert (and its incident, once nothing else in it is open) — no one has to click anything. Pair it with grouping rules, runbooks and one-tap Slack acknowledge for a calm on-call.
