Amazon SNS Monitoring Integration

Polling frequency
OpManager Nexus queries the CloudWatch API and other service level APIs as per the poll frequency set (1 minute to a day), to collect performance metrics and metadata for your active SNS topics. Learn more.
Impacting Resources
View a list of Impacting Resources associated with your Amazon SNS. Click on an individual listing to see performance and resource usage stats associated with that resource. You can also set thresholds and be notified when any of these services fail by clicking the pencil icon under Action.
IT Automations
You can add automations for the AWS services supported by OpManager Nexus. Log in to OpManager Nexus and go to Admin > IT Automation Templates (+) > Add Automation Templates. Once automations are added, you can schedule them to be executed one after the other.
You can now publish messages to a SNS topic using Amazon SNS automations.
