public interface AmazonCloudWatchEvents
```
Interface for accessing Amazon CloudWatch Events.
Note: Do not directly implement this interface, new methods are added to it regularly. Extend from AbstractAmazonCloudWatchEvents instead.

Amazon CloudWatch Events helps you to respond to state changes in your AWS resources. When your resources change state, they automatically send events into an event stream. You can create rules that match selected events in the stream and route them to targets to take action. You can also use rules to take action on a pre-determined schedule. For example, you can configure rules to:
- Automatically invoke an AWS Lambda function to update DNS entries when an event notifies you that Amazon EC2 instance enters the running state.
- Direct specific API records from AWS CloudTrail to an Amazon Kinesis data stream for detailed analysis of potential security or availability risks.
- Periodically invoke a built-in target to create a snapshot of an Amazon EBS volume.
For more information about the features of Amazon CloudWatch Events, see the Amazon CloudWatch Events User Guide.

- Field Detail
  - ENDPOINT_PREFIX
```
static final String ENDPOINT_PREFIX
```
    The region metadata service name for computing region endpoints. You can use this value to retrieve metadata (such as supported regions) of the service.
    
    See Also:
    
    RegionUtils.getRegionsForService(String), Constant Field Values
- Method Detail
  - setEndpoint
```
@Deprecated
void setEndpoint(String endpoint)
```
    Deprecated. use AwsClientBuilder#setEndpointConfiguration(AwsClientBuilder.EndpointConfiguration) for example: builder.setEndpointConfiguration(new EndpointConfiguration(endpoint, signingRegion));
    
    Overrides the default endpoint for this client ("events.us-east-1.amazonaws.com"). Callers can use this method to control which AWS region they want to work with.
    Callers can pass in just the endpoint (ex: "events.us-east-1.amazonaws.com") or a full URL, including the protocol (ex: "events.us-east-1.amazonaws.com"). If the protocol is not specified here, the default protocol from this client's ClientConfiguration will be used, which by default is HTTPS.
    For more information on using AWS regions with the AWS SDK for Java, and a complete list of all available endpoints for all AWS services, see: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-java/v1/developer-guide/java-dg-region-selection.html#region-selection- choose-endpoint
    This method is not threadsafe. An endpoint should be configured when the client is created and before any service requests are made. Changing it afterwards creates inevitable race conditions for any service requests in transit or retrying.
    
    Parameters:
    
    endpoint - The endpoint (ex: "events.us-east-1.amazonaws.com") or a full URL, including the protocol (ex: "events.us-east-1.amazonaws.com") of the region specific AWS endpoint this client will communicate with.
  - setRegion
```
@Deprecated
void setRegion(Region region)
```
    Deprecated. use AwsClientBuilder#setRegion(String)
    
    An alternative to setEndpoint(String), sets the regional endpoint for this client's service calls. Callers can use this method to control which AWS region they want to work with.
    By default, all service endpoints in all regions use the https protocol. To use http instead, specify it in the ClientConfiguration supplied at construction.
    This method is not threadsafe. A region should be configured when the client is created and before any service requests are made. Changing it afterwards creates inevitable race conditions for any service requests in transit or retrying.
    
    Parameters:
    
    region - The region this client will communicate with. See Region.getRegion(com.amazonaws.regions.Regions) for accessing a given region. Must not be null and must be a region where the service is available.
    
    See Also:
    
    Region.getRegion(com.amazonaws.regions.Regions), Region.createClient(Class, com.amazonaws.auth.AWSCredentialsProvider, ClientConfiguration), Region.isServiceSupported(String)
  - deleteRule
```
DeleteRuleResult deleteRule(DeleteRuleRequest deleteRuleRequest)
```
    Deletes the specified rule.
    
    Before you can delete the rule, you must remove all targets, using RemoveTargets.
    
    When you delete a rule, incoming events might continue to match to the deleted rule. Allow a short period of time for changes to take effect.
    
    Parameters:
    
    deleteRuleRequest -
    
    Returns:
    
    Result of the DeleteRule operation returned by the service.

    See Also:
    
    AWS API Documentation
  - putPermission
```
PutPermissionResult putPermission(PutPermissionRequest putPermissionRequest)
```
    Running PutPermission permits the specified AWS account to put events to your account's default event bus. CloudWatch Events rules in your account are triggered by these events arriving to your default event bus.
    
    For another account to send events to your account, that external account must have a CloudWatch Events rule with your account's default event bus as a target.
    
    To enable multiple AWS accounts to put events to your default event bus, run PutPermission once for each of these accounts.
    
    The permission policy on the default event bus cannot exceed 10 KB in size.
    
    Parameters:
    
    putPermissionRequest -
    
    Returns:
    
    Result of the PutPermission operation returned by the service.
    
    Throws:
    
    ResourceNotFoundException - An entity that you specified does not exist.
    
    PolicyLengthExceededException - The event bus policy is too long. For more information, see the limits.
    
    InternalException - This exception occurs due to unexpected causes.
    
    ConcurrentModificationException - There is concurrent modification on a rule or target.
    
    See Also:
    
    AWS API Documentation
  - putRule
```
PutRuleResult putRule(PutRuleRequest putRuleRequest)
```
    Creates or updates the specified rule. Rules are enabled by default, or based on value of the state. You can disable a rule using DisableRule.
    
    If you are updating an existing rule, the rule is replaced with what you specify in this PutRule command. If you omit arguments in PutRule, the old values for those arguments are not kept. Instead, they are replaced with null values.
    
    When you create or update a rule, incoming events might not immediately start matching to new or updated rules. Allow a short period of time for changes to take effect.
    
    A rule must contain at least an EventPattern or ScheduleExpression. Rules with EventPatterns are triggered when a matching event is observed. Rules with ScheduleExpressions self-trigger based on the given schedule. A rule can have both an EventPattern and a ScheduleExpression, in which case the rule triggers on matching events as well as on a schedule.
    
    Most services in AWS treat : or / as the same character in Amazon Resource Names (ARNs). However, CloudWatch Events uses an exact match in event patterns and rules. Be sure to use the correct ARN characters when creating event patterns so that they match the ARN syntax in the event you want to match.
    
    Parameters:
    
    putRuleRequest -
    
    Returns:
    
    Result of the PutRule operation returned by the service.
    
    Throws:
    
    InvalidEventPatternException - The event pattern is not valid.
    
    LimitExceededException - You tried to create more rules or add more targets to a rule than is allowed.
    
    ConcurrentModificationException - There is concurrent modification on a rule or target.
    
    InternalException - This exception occurs due to unexpected causes.
    
    See Also:
    
    AWS API Documentation
  - putTargets
```
PutTargetsResult putTargets(PutTargetsRequest putTargetsRequest)
```
    Adds the specified targets to the specified rule, or updates the targets if they are already associated with the rule.
    
    Targets are the resources that are invoked when a rule is triggered.
    
    You can configure the following as targets for CloudWatch 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
    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 CloudWatch Events needs the appropriate permissions. For AWS Lambda and Amazon SNS resources, CloudWatch Events relies on resource-based policies. For EC2 instances, Kinesis data streams, and AWS Step Functions state machines, CloudWatch Events relies on IAM roles that you specify in the RoleARN argument in PutTargets. For more information, see Authentication and Access Control in the Amazon CloudWatch Events 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 CloudWatch Pricing.
    
    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.
    Parameters:
    
    putTargetsRequest -
    
    Returns:
    
    Result of the PutTargets operation returned by the service.
    
    Throws:
    
    ResourceNotFoundException - An entity that you specified does not exist.
    
    ConcurrentModificationException - There is concurrent modification on a rule or target.
    
    LimitExceededException - You tried to create more rules or add more targets to a rule than is allowed.
    
    InternalException - This exception occurs due to unexpected causes.

    AWS API Documentation
  - removePermission
```
RemovePermissionResult removePermission(RemovePermissionRequest removePermissionRequest)
```
    Revokes the permission of another AWS account to be able to put events to your default event bus. Specify the account to revoke by the StatementId value that you associated with the account when you granted it permission with PutPermission. You can find the StatementId by using DescribeEventBus.
    
    Parameters:
    
    removePermissionRequest -
    
    Returns:
    
    Result of the RemovePermission operation returned by the service.
    
    Throws:
    
    ResourceNotFoundException - An entity that you specified does not exist.
    
    InternalException - This exception occurs due to unexpected causes.
    
    ConcurrentModificationException - There is concurrent modification on a rule or target.
    
    See Also:
    
    AWS API Documentation
  - removeTargets
```
RemoveTargetsResult removeTargets(RemoveTargetsRequest removeTargetsRequest)
```
    Removes the specified targets from the specified rule. When the rule is triggered, those targets are no longer be invoked.
    
    When you remove a target, when the associated rule triggers, removed targets might continue to be 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.
    
    Parameters:
    
    removeTargetsRequest -
    
    Returns:
    
    Result of the RemoveTargets operation returned by the service.
    
    Throws:
    
    ResourceNotFoundException - An entity that you specified does not exist.
    
    ConcurrentModificationException - There is concurrent modification on a rule or target.
    
    InternalException - This exception occurs due to unexpected causes.
    
    See Also:
    
    AWS API Documentation
  - testEventPattern
```
TestEventPatternResult testEventPattern(TestEventPatternRequest testEventPatternRequest)
```
    Tests whether the specified event pattern matches the provided event.
    
    Most services in AWS treat : or / as the same character in Amazon Resource Names (ARNs). However, CloudWatch Events uses an exact match in event patterns and rules. Be sure to use the correct ARN characters when creating event patterns so that they match the ARN syntax in the event you want to match.
    
    Parameters:
    
    testEventPatternRequest -
    
    Returns:
    
    Result of the TestEventPattern operation returned by the service.
    
    Throws:
    
    InvalidEventPatternException - The event pattern is not valid.
    
    InternalException - This exception occurs due to unexpected causes.
    
    See Also:
    
    AWS API Documentation
  - shutdown
```
void shutdown()
```
    Shuts down this client object, releasing any resources that might be held open. This is an optional method, and callers are not expected to call it, but can if they want to explicitly release any open resources. Once a client has been shutdown, it should not be used to make any more requests.
  - getCachedResponseMetadata
```
ResponseMetadata getCachedResponseMetadata(AmazonWebServiceRequest request)
```
    Returns additional metadata for a previously executed successful request, typically used for debugging issues where a service isn't acting as expected. This data isn't considered part of the result data returned by an operation, so it's available through this separate, diagnostic interface.
    Response metadata is only cached for a limited period of time, so if you need to access this extra diagnostic information for an executed request, you should use this method to retrieve it as soon as possible after executing a request.
    
    Parameters:
    
    request - The originally executed request.
    
    Returns:
    
    The response metadata for the specified request, or null if none is available.
