ses-cloudwatch 1.2.1

ses-cloudwatch

ses-cloudwatch

Small CDK construct that routes Amazon SES sending events to a CloudWatch LogGroup through EventBridge. It creates:

• CloudWatch LogGroup (optionally named)
• SES Configuration Set (optionally named)
• EventBridge Rule (matches all aws.ses events)
• Configuration Set Event Destination that sends SEND events to the default EventBridge bus which the rule targets to the LogGroup

Install

Add as a dependency to your CDK app (peer deps aws-cdk-lib and constructs must already be present at compatible versions):

npm install ses-cloudwatch

Usage

import { Stack } from 'aws-cdk-lib';
import { SesCloudWatch } from 'ses-cloudwatch';

class MyStack extends Stack {
	constructor(scope: Construct, id: string) {
		super(scope, id);

		new SesCloudWatch(this, 'SesEvents');
	}
}

With custom names

new SesCloudWatch(this, 'SesEvents', {
	logGroupName: 'my-ses-event-logs',
	configurationSetName: 'marketing-emails',
	eventRuleName: 'marketing-emails-events',
});

Capturing additional SES events

By default only SEND events are forwarded. Supply the events prop to include more:

import { aws_ses as ses } from 'aws-cdk-lib';

new SesCloudWatch(this, 'SesEvents', {
	events: [
		ses.EmailSendingEvent.SEND,
		ses.EmailSendingEvent.REJECT,
		ses.EmailSendingEvent.DELIVERY,
	],
});
