AWS Health Event Review

Use this skill when investigating an incident and you need to check for AWS-side service events that may be causing or contributing to the observed issue. Also use this skill when a user requests a summary report of AWS Health events over a configurable time period.

When to Use This Skill

Incident Investigation (automatic activation):

An active incident may be caused by an AWS service disruption or degradation.
You observe service degradation, elevated error rates, latency spikes, connection failures, throttling, or capacity issues.
You need to determine whether an AWS-side event is the root cause or a contributing factor to the current incident.
You want to correlate observed symptoms with known AWS Health events.

Chat Reporting (on-demand activation):

A user requests a health event summary or report for their account.
A user wants to review the health posture of their AWS environment over a specific time period.
A user asks about recent AWS service issues affecting their account or region.

Prerequisites

The account must have an AWS Business Support+, Enterprise Support, or Unified Operations support plan to access the AWS Health API.
The agent must have permissions to call the following IAM actions:
- health:DescribeEvents
- health:DescribeEventDetails
- health:DescribeAffectedEntities
- health:DescribeEventTypes
The AWS Health API is only available in the us-east-1 region. All API calls must target the us-east-1 endpoint regardless of where the affected resources are located.
Health event data is available for up to 90 days. Events older than 90 days cannot be retrieved via the API.

Step 1: Gather Incident Context

Before searching Health events, extract key details from the current incident:

Affected AWS services — identify the service(s) experiencing issues (e.g., EC2, RDS, Lambda, ELB, ECS).
Timeframe — determine when the incident started and its current duration. Use ISO 8601 timestamps.
Affected resources — collect specific resource identifiers (instance IDs, ARNs, endpoint names, cluster names).
Region and availability zone — identify the AWS region and, if known, the specific availability zone(s) affected.
Symptoms — note the observed symptoms (latency spikes, 5xx errors, connection timeouts, throttling, capacity errors).

Use these details as filter criteria in subsequent steps.

Step 2: Search Health Events

Use the AWS Health API DescribeEvents operation to retrieve events matching the incident context. All calls must target the us-east-1 endpoint.

API call pattern

aws health describe-events \
  --region us-east-1 \
  --filter '{
    "services": ["<SERVICE_CODE>"],
    "startTimes": [{"from": "<ISO-8601-start>"}],
    "regions": ["<affected-region>"],
    "eventStatusCodes": ["open", "closed"],
    "eventTypeCategories": ["issue", "scheduledChange", "accountNotification"]
  }' \
  --max-results 100

Filtering strategies

Strategy	How to Apply
By service	Use the `services` filter with the AWS Health service code (e.g., `EC2`, `RDS`, `ELASTICLOADBALANCING`), because service-specific events are most likely to correlate with the incident.
By time range	Use `startTimes` with a `from` value set to 7 days before the incident start, because events that started before the incident may still be active and causing impact.
By region	Use the `regions` filter to scope events to the affected region, because regional events are more likely to impact the specific resources under investigation.
By availability zone	Use the `availabilityZones` filter when the incident is isolated to a specific AZ, because AZ-scoped events have the highest correlation with AZ-specific failures.
By status	Include both `open` and `closed` statuses, because recently closed events may have caused residual impact that is still being observed.
By event scope	Include both `ACCOUNT_SPECIFIC` and `PUBLIC` events, because public service events affect all accounts in the region while account-specific events target your resources directly.

Pagination handling

Follow the nextToken from each response to retrieve subsequent pages.
Continue paginating until nextToken is null or a maximum of 500 events have been collected.
Set maxResults to 100 per page for efficient retrieval.

Step 3: Filter Relevant Events

Before retrieving full event details, filter the events returned in Step 2 to identify only those relevant to the current investigation. This avoids unnecessary DescribeEventDetails calls for events that are clearly unrelated.

Relevance filtering criteria

Evaluate each event from the DescribeEvents response using these fields (available without calling DescribeEventDetails):

Field	Relevance Signal
`service`	Must match one of the affected services from the incident context, or a related service from the Service Dependency Map
`eventTypeCategory`	Prioritize `issue` events for active incidents; include `scheduledChange` if the incident coincides with a maintenance window
`eventTypeCode`	Match against known operational event patterns (e.g., `AWS_EC2_OPERATIONAL_ISSUE`, `AWS_RDS_MAINTENANCE`)
`statusCode`	Prioritize `open` events; include `closed` only if the event ended within 2 hours of the incident start
`startTime` / `endTime`	The event's active period must overlap with the incident timeframe
`region` / `availabilityZone`	Must match the incident's affected region or AZ

Filtering rules

Keep events where the service matches an affected service or a related service from the Service Dependency Map.
Keep events where the active period (startTime to endTime, or to present if open) overlaps with the incident timeframe.
Keep events where the region or availabilityZone matches the incident's affected region/AZ.
Discard accountNotification events unless the incident context specifically suggests an account-level issue (e.g., abuse notification, certificate expiry).
Discard closed events that ended more than 2 hours before the incident started (unlikely to be contributing).

Result

After filtering, proceed to Step 4 only with the relevant subset of events. If all events are filtered out, report that no relevant Health events were found and suggest alternative investigation paths (see Step 7).

Step 4: Get Event Details

For each relevant event identified in Step 3, retrieve full descriptions and timelines using DescribeEventDetails.

API call pattern

aws health describe-event-details \
  --region us-east-1 \
  --event-arns '["<arn-1>", "<arn-2>", ..., "<arn-10>"]'

Batching rules

The API accepts a maximum of 10 event ARNs per request.
If more than 10 relevant events need details, issue multiple batched calls of up to 10 ARNs each until all relevant events are detailed.

Extract from each event detail

Event description — the latestDescription text explaining the event.
Timeline — start time, end time (null if ongoing), last updated time.
Status — current status (open, closed, upcoming).
Service and region — confirm the affected service and region.
Event type — the category (issue, scheduledChange, accountNotification) and specific type code.

Handling failedSet

The response contains a successfulSet and a failedSet.
If any event ARNs appear in failedSet, report the failed ARN and error message to the operator.
Continue processing all events from successfulSet without blocking on failures.

Step 5: Identify Affected Entities

For events with eventScopeCode of ACCOUNT_SPECIFIC, retrieve the list of affected resources using DescribeAffectedEntities.

Important: Only call DescribeAffectedEntities for ACCOUNT_SPECIFIC events. PUBLIC events do not return entity data.

API call pattern

aws health describe-affected-entities \
  --region us-east-1 \
  --filter '{"eventArns": ["<event-arn>"]}'
  --max-results 100

Entity matching

When the incident context includes specific resource identifiers:

Retrieve all affected entities for the event (paginate up to 500 entities per event using nextToken).
Perform exact string matching of each entity's entityValue against the incident context resource identifiers.
Present matched entities in a separate section before non-matched entities.
Include entity status (IMPAIRED, UNIMPAIRED, UNKNOWN, PENDING) and last updated time for each entity.

Error handling

If DescribeAffectedEntities returns an error for a specific event ARN, report the event ARN that failed and continue processing remaining events.

Step 6: Correlate with Incident

Score each Health event for relevance to the current incident using the following criteria:

Relevance scoring

Classification	Criteria	Label
High	Matching service + overlapping timeframe + matching affected resource (or matching region/AZ if no resource IDs available)	Likely contributing factor (if event is open)
Medium	Matching service + overlapping timeframe (no resource match)	Likely contributing factor (if event is open)
Low	Matching service only (no timeframe overlap)	Background context

Scoring rules

Service match: The event's service code matches one of the affected services from the incident context.
Timeframe overlap: The event's active period (start time through end time, or through present if still open) intersects with the incident's timeframe (start time through end time, or through present if ongoing).
Region/AZ match: The event's region or availability zone matches the incident's affected region or AZ.
Resource match: At least one affected entity's entityValue matches a resource identifier from the incident context.

Contributing factor labeling

Any open event classified as High or Medium relevance SHALL be labeled as a "likely contributing factor" in addition to its relevance classification.
Closed events with High relevance should be noted as potential recent causes if the incident started shortly after the event closed.

When resource identifiers are unavailable

If the incident context does not include specific resource identifiers, score relevance using only service, timeframe, and region/AZ factors:

High: Matching service + overlapping timefram

# AWS Health Event Review

Use this skill when investigating an incident and you need to check for AWS-side
service events that may be causing or contributing to the observed issue. Also
use this skill when a user requests a summary report of AWS Health events over a
configurable time period.

## When to Use This Skill

**Incident Investigation (automatic activation):**

- An active incident may be caused by an AWS service disruption or degradation.
- You observe service degradation, elevated error rates, latency spikes,
connection failures, throttling, or capacity issues.
- You need to determine whether an AWS-side event is the root cause or a
contributing factor to the current incident.
- You want to correlate observed symptoms with known AWS Health events.

**Chat Reporting (on-demand activation):**

- A user requests a health event summary or report for their account.
- A user wants to review the health posture of their AWS environment over a
specific time period.
- A user asks about recent AWS service issues affecting their account or region.

## Prerequisites

- The account must have an **AWS Business Support+**, **Enterprise Support**, or
**Unified Operations** support plan to access the AWS Health API.
- The agent must have permissions to call the following IAM actions:
- `health:DescribeEvents`
- `health:DescribeEventDetails`
- `health:DescribeAffectedEntities`
- `health:DescribeEventTypes`
- The AWS Health API is only available in the **us-east-1** region. All API
calls must target the `us-east-1` endpoint regardless of where the affected
resources are located.
- Health event data is available for up to 90 days. Events older than 90 days
cannot be retrieved via the API.

---

## Step 1: Gather Incident Context

Before searching Health events, extract key details from the current incident:

1. **Affected AWS services** — identify the service(s) experiencing issues
(e.g., EC2, RDS, Lambda, ELB, ECS).
2. **Timeframe** — determine when the incident started and its current duration.
Use ISO 8601 timestamps.
3. **Affected resources** — collect specific resource identifiers (instance IDs,
ARNs, endpoint names, cluster names).
4. **Region and availability zone** — identify the AWS region and, if known, the
specific availability zone(s) affected.
5. **Symptoms** — note the observed symptoms (latency spikes, 5xx errors,
connection timeouts, throttling, capacity errors).

Use these details as filter criteria in subsequent steps.

---

## Step 2: Search Health Events

Use the AWS Health API `DescribeEvents` operation to retrieve events matching
the incident context. All calls must target the **us-east-1** endpoint.

### API call pattern

```
aws health describe-events \
--region us-east-1 \
--filter '{
"services": ["<SERVICE_CODE>"],
"startTimes": [{"from": "<ISO-8601-start>"}],
"regions": ["<affected-region>"],
"eventStatusCodes": ["open", "closed"],
"eventTypeCategories": ["issue", "scheduledChange", "accountNotification"]
}' \
--max-results 100
```

### Filtering strategies

| Strategy | How to Apply |
|----------|-------------|
| By service | Use the `services` filter with the AWS Health service code (e.g., `EC2`, `RDS`, `ELASTICLOADBALANCING`), because service-specific events are most likely to correlate with the incident. |
| By time range | Use `startTimes` with a `from` value set to 7 days before the incident start, because events that started before the incident may still be active and causing impact. |
| By region | Use the `regions` filter to scope events to the affected region, because regional events are more likely to impact the specific resources under investigation. |
| By availability zone | Use the `availabilityZones` filter when the incident is isolated to a specific AZ, because AZ-scoped events have the highest correlation with AZ-specific failures. |
| By status | Include both `open` and `closed` statuses, because recently closed events may have caused residual impact that is still being observed. |
| By event scope | Include both `ACCOUNT_SPECIFIC` and `PUBLIC` events, because public service events affect all accounts in the region while account-specific events target your resources directly. |

### Pagination handling

- Follow the `nextToken` from each response to retrieve subsequent pages.
- Continue paginating until `nextToken` is null or a maximum of **500 events**
have been collected.
- Set `maxResults` to 100 per page for efficient retrieval.

---

## Step 3: Filter Relevant Events

Before retrieving full event details, filter the events returned in Step 2 to
identify only those relevant to the current investigation. This avoids
unnecessary `DescribeEventDetails` calls for events that are clearly unrelated.

### Relevance filtering criteria

Evaluate each event from the `DescribeEvents` response using these fields
(available without calling `DescribeEventDetails`):

| Field | Relevance Signal |
|-------|-----------------|
| `service` | Must match one of the affected services from the incident context, or a related service from the Service Dependency Map |
| `eventTypeCategory` | Prioritize `issue` events for active incidents; include `scheduledChange` if the incident coincides with a maintenance window |
| `eventTypeCode` | Match against known operational event patterns (e.g., `AWS_EC2_OPERATIONAL_ISSUE`, `AWS_RDS_MAINTENANCE`) |
| `statusCode` | Prioritize `open` events; include `closed` only if the event ended within 2 hours of the incident start |
| `startTime` / `endTime` | The event's active period must overlap with the incident timeframe |
| `region` / `availabilityZone` | Must match the incident's affected region or AZ |

### Filtering rules

1. **Keep** events where the `service` matches an affected service or a related
service from the Service Dependency Map.
2. **Keep** events where the active period (startTime to endTime, or to present
if open) overlaps with the incident timeframe.
3. **Keep** events where the `region` or `availabilityZone` matches the
incident's affected region/AZ.
4. **Discard** `accountNotification` events unless the incident context
specifically suggests an account-level issue (e.g., abuse notification,
certificate expiry).
5. **Discard** `closed` events that ended more than 2 hours before the incident
started (unlikely to be contributing).

### Result

After filtering, proceed to Step 4 only with the relevant subset of events.
If all events are filtered out, report that no relevant Health events were found
and suggest alternative investigation paths (see Step 7).

---

## Step 4: Get Event Details

For each **relevant** event identified in Step 3, retrieve full descriptions
and timelines using `DescribeEventDetails`.

### API call pattern

```
aws health describe-event-details \
--region us-east-1 \
--event-arns '["<arn-1>", "<arn-2>", ..., "<arn-10>"]'
```

### Batching rules

- The API accepts a **maximum of 10 event ARNs per request**.
- If more than 10 relevant events need details, issue multiple batched calls of
up to 10 ARNs each until all relevant events are detailed.

### Extract from each event detail

- **Event description** — the `latestDescription` text explaining the event.
- **Timeline** — start time, end time (null if ongoing), last updated time.
- **Status** — current status (open, closed, upcoming).
- **Service and region** — confirm the affected service and region.
- **Event type** — the category (issue, scheduledChange, accountNotification)
and specific type code.

### Handling failedSet

- The response contains a `successfulSet` and a `failedSet`.
- If any event ARNs appear in `failedSet`, report the failed ARN and error
message to the operator.
- Continue processing all events from `successfulSet` without blocking on
failures.

---

## Step 5: Identify Affected Entities

For events with `eventScopeCode` of **ACCOUNT_SPECIFIC**, retrieve the list of
affected resources using `DescribeAffectedEntities`.

> **Important**: Only call DescribeAffectedEntities for ACCOUNT_SPECIFIC events.
> PUBLIC events do not return entity data.

### API call pattern

```
aws health describe-affected-entities \
--region us-east-1 \
--filter '{"eventArns": ["<event-arn>"]}'
--max-results 100
```

### Entity matching

When the incident context includes specific resource identifiers:

1. Retrieve all affected entities for the event (paginate up to **500 entities**
per event using `nextToken`).
2. Perform exact string matching of each entity's `entityValue` against the
incident context resource identifiers.
3. Present matched entities in a separate section before non-matched entities.
4. Include entity status (`IMPAIRED`, `UNIMPAIRED`, `UNKNOWN`, `PENDING`) and
last updated time for each entity.

### Error handling

- If `DescribeAffectedEntities` returns an error for a specific event ARN,
report the event ARN that failed and continue processing remaining events.

---

## Step 6: Correlate with Incident

Score each Health event for relevance to the current incident using the
following criteria:

### Relevance scoring

| Classification | Criteria | Label |
|---------------|----------|-------|
| **High** | Matching service + overlapping timeframe + matching affected resource (or matching region/AZ if no resource IDs available) | Likely contributing factor (if event is open) |
| **Medium** | Matching service + overlapping timeframe (no resource match) | Likely contributing factor (if event is open) |
| **Low** | Matching service only (no timeframe overlap) | Background context |

### Scoring rules

- **Service match**: The event's service code matches one of the affected
services from the incident context.
- **Timeframe overlap**: The event's active period (start time through end time,
or through present if still open) intersects with the incident's timeframe
(start time through end time, or through present if ongoing).
- **Region/AZ match**: The event's region or availability zone matches the
incident's affected region or AZ.
- **Resource match**: At least one affected entity's `entityValue` matches a
resource identifier from the incident context.

### Contributing factor labeling

- Any **open** event classified as High or Medium relevance SHALL be labeled as
a "likely contributing factor" in addition to its relevance classification.
- Closed events with High relevance should be noted as potential recent causes
if the incident started shortly after the event closed.

### When resource identifiers are unavailable

If the incident context does not include specific resource identifiers, score
relevance using only service, timeframe, and region/AZ factors:

- **High**: Matching service + overlapping timefram
