Receiving anomaly alerts in chat applications

You can use Amazon Q Developer to receive your AWS Cost Anomaly Detection alerts in Amazon Chime and Slack.

Amazon Chime
To begin receiving your AWS Cost Anomaly Detection alerts in Amazon Chime

  1. Follow Getting started with AWS Cost Anomaly Detection to create a monitor.

  2. Create an alert subscription using the Individual alerts type. Amazon SNS topics can be configured for individual alerts only.

  3. Add an Amazon SNS topic as an alert recipient to a specific alert or alerts. To ensure that Cost Anomaly Detection has permissions to publish to your Amazon SNS topics, see Creating an Amazon SNS topic for anomaly notifications.

  4. Attach the alert subscription to the monitor that you want to receive Amazon Chime alerts for.

  5. Open Amazon Chime.

  6. For Amazon Chime, choose the chat room that you want to set up to receive notifications through Amazon Q Developer.

  7. Choose the Room settings icon on the top right and choose Manage webhooks and bots.

    Amazon Chime displays the webhooks associated with the chat room.

  8. For the webhook, choose Copy URL, and then choose Done.

    If you need to create a new webhook for the chat room, choose Add webhook, enter a name for the webhook in the Name field, and then choose Create.

  9. Open the Amazon Q Developer in chat applications console.

  10. Choose Configure new client.

  11. Choose Amazon Chime, and then choose Configure.

  12. Under Configuration details, enter a name for your configuration. The name must be unique across your account and can't be edited later.

  13. To configure Amazon Chime webhook, do the following:

    1. For Webhook URL, paste the webhook URL that you copied from Amazon Chime.

    2. For Webhook description, use the following naming convention to describe the purpose of the webhook: Chat_room_name/Webhook_name. This helps you associate Amazon Chime webhooks with their Amazon Q Developer configurations.

  14. If you want to enable logging for this configuration, choose Publish logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs. For more information, see Amazon CloudWatch Logs for Amazon Q Developer.

    Note

    There is an additional charge for using Amazon CloudWatch Logs.

  15. For Permissions, set the IAM permissions as follows:

    1. For IAM role, choose Create an IAM role using a template. If you want to use an existing role instead, choose it from the IAM role list. To use an existing IAM role, you might need to modify it for use with Amazon Q Developer. For more information, see Configuring an IAM Role for Amazon Q Developer.

    2. For Role name, enter a name. Valid characters: a-z, A-Z, 0-9.

    3. For Policy templates, choose Notification permissions. This is the IAM policy provided by Amazon Q Developer. It provides the necessary Read and List permissions for CloudWatch alarms, events, and logs, and for Amazon SNS topics.

  16. Set up the SNS topics that will send notifications to the Amazon Chime webhook.

    1. For SNS Region, choose the AWS Region that hosts the SNS topics for this Amazon Q Developer subscription.

    2. For SNS topics, choose the SNS topic for the client subscription. This topic determines the content that's sent to the Amazon Chime webhook. If the region has additional SNS topics, you can choose them from the same dropdown list.

    3. If you want to add an SNS topic from another Region to the notification subscription, choose Add another Region.

  17. Choose Configure.
