The object describing a Schedule
event source type, which sets your serverless function as the target of an EventBridge rule that triggers on a schedule. For more information, see What Is Amazon EventBridge? in the Amazon EventBridge User Guide.
AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) generates an AWS::Events::Rule resource when this event type is set.
To declare this entity in your AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) template, use the following syntax.
[DeadLetterConfig](#sam-function-schedule-deadletterconfig): DeadLetterConfig
[Description](#sam-function-schedule-description): String
[Enabled](#sam-function-schedule-enabled): Boolean
[Input](#sam-function-schedule-input): String
[Name](#sam-function-schedule-name): String
[RetryPolicy](#sam-function-schedule-retrypolicy): [RetryPolicy](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-events-rule-target.html#cfn-events-rule-target-retrypolicy)
[Schedule](#sam-function-schedule-schedule): String
DeadLetterConfig
Configure the Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue where EventBridge sends events after a failed target invocation. Invocation can fail, for example, when sending an event to a Lambda function that doesn't exist, or when EventBridge has insufficient permissions to invoke the Lambda function. For more information, see Event retry policy and using dead-letter queues in the Amazon EventBridge User Guide.
Note: The AWS::Serverless::Function resource type has a similar data type, DeadLetterQueue
, which handles failures that occur after successful invocation of the target Lambda function. Examples of these types of failures include Lambda throttling, or errors returned by the Lambda target function. For more information about the function DeadLetterQueue
property, see AWS Lambda function dead-letter queues in the AWS Lambda Developer Guide.
Type: DeadLetterConfig
Required: No
AWS CloudFormation compatibility: This property is similar to the [DeadLetterConfig](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-events-rule-target.html#cfn-events-rule-target-deadletterconfig)
property of the AWS::Events::Rule
Target
data type. The AWS SAM version of this property includes additional subproperties, in case you want AWS SAM to create the dead-letter queue for you.
Description
A description of the rule.
Type: String
Required: No
AWS CloudFormation compatibility: This property is passed directly to the [Description](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-events-rule.html#cfn-events-rule-description)
property of an AWS::Events::Rule
resource.
Enabled
Indicates whether the rule is enabled.
To disable the rule, set this property to false
.
Type: Boolean
Required: No
AWS CloudFormation compatibility: This property is similar to the [State](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-events-rule.html#cfn-events-rule-state)
property of an AWS::Events::Rule
resource. If this property is set to True
then AWS SAM passes ENABLED
, otherwise it passes DISABLED
.
Input
Valid JSON text passed to the target. If you use this property, nothing from the event text itself is passed to the target.
Type: String
Required: No
AWS CloudFormation compatibility: This property is passed directly to the [Target](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-events-rule-target.html#cfn-events-rule-target-input)
property of an AWS::Events::Rule Target
resource.
Name
The name of the rule. If you don't specify a name, AWS CloudFormation generates a unique physical ID and uses that ID for the rule name.
Type: String
Required: No
AWS CloudFormation compatibility: This property is passed directly to the [Name](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-events-rule.html#cfn-events-rule-name)
property of an AWS::Events::Rule
resource.
RetryPolicy
A RetryPolicy
object that includes information about the retry policy settings. For more information, see Event retry policy and using dead-letter queues in the Amazon EventBridge User Guide.
Type: RetryPolicy
Required: No
AWS CloudFormation compatibility: This property is passed directly to the [RetryPolicy](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-events-rule-target.html#cfn-events-rule-target-retrypolicy)
property of the AWS::Events::Rule
Target
data type.
Schedule
The scheduling expression that determines when and how often the rule runs. For more information, see Schedule Expressions for Rules.
Type: String
Required: Yes
AWS CloudFormation compatibility: This property is passed directly to the [ScheduleExpression](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-events-rule.html#cfn-events-rule-scheduleexpression)
property of an AWS::Events::Rule
resource.
