Integrate Amazon SNS with Filter By Connect

What is Amazon SNS?

Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS. is a web service that enables you to push data to applications or devices. You can use Amazon SNS to publish notifications from applications and services, and to subscribe to notifications from other applications and services. Amazon SNS protects the privacy of your users by providing access controls and encryption for sending notification messages using the Amazon SNS service.Amazon SNS allows you to scale your application by publishing and receiving messages from multiple sources. For example, you can use Amazon SNS to send notifications to subscribers, such as via email and SMS text messages, when Amazon EC2 instances enter a specific state. By using Amazon SNS, you can also minimize the number of third-party solutions that you use to communicate with your customers. Amazon SNS is integrated with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM. and supports role-based access control, which enables you to ensure that only authorized users can send messages. Amazon SNS supports the REST API, SDKs, and CLI for sending messages and subscribing to notifications.

What is Filter By Connect?

Filter By Connect is an application monitoring service that integrates conveniently with Amazon SNS so that you can monitor production systems through Amazon SNS topics. You simply create an Amazon SNS topic for each filtered service or resource in your production environment and then configure Filter By Connect to receive notifications about the health of each filtered resource through the associated Amazon SNS topic. In addition, Filter By Connect allows you to monitor a large number of resources even though there might be thousands or millions of them. This is possible because Filter By Connect lets you specify a configuration file that includes a list of resources to filter on. The configuration file ensures that Filter By Connect will only receive notifications about the resources whose values match the filter criteria specified in the file.In short, Amazon SNS enables you to scale your application by publishing and receiving messages from multiple sources while Filter By Connect extends the capabilities of Amazon SNS by providing a convenient way to monitor your production environment.The following diagram shows a high-level architecture of this integration:
