I am trying to schedule cloudwatch event to trigger my lambda daily between 13:45 PM UTC to 15:45 PM UTC with interval of every 30 minutes.
I want my lambda to be triggered at following times daily -
13:45 PM UTC, 14:15 PM UTC, 14:45 PM UTC, 15:15 PM UTC and 15:45 PM UTC
I have set following cron expression to achieve this -
45/30 13-15 * * ? *
But I am not able to achieve the expected schedule. Getting following scheduled time instead -
Please let me know how should I achieve expected scheduled time.

I want to run my AWS Lambda from 3PM EST to 4:05 PM EST in every 13 mins interval from Monday to Friday. I've used this expression as scheduled pattern Amazon EventBridge Rules in my trigger:
0/13 20 ? * MON-FRI *
Minutes Hours Day of Month Month Day of Week Year
It runs from 3pm to 4 PM in 13 mins interval and stops at 3:52 PM but I want to run one more time at 4:05 PM. How can I change the Hour pattern to achieve this?
I tried hour as 20-21 but this only takes a full hour not first 5 min after 4 pm. My expectation is to change the hour so it take 4:05 PM schedule as per 13 min interval time.
You can not do it in a single cron expression you need to use more than one cron expression to handle exception cases.
0/13 20 ? * MON-FRI * -> 2000, 2013, 2026, 2039, 2052
5 ? * MON-FRI *. -> 2105
I have a Cloudwatch Alarm which receives data from a Canary. My canary attempts to visit a website, and if the website is up and responding, then the datapoint is 0, if the server returns some sort of error then the datapoint is 1. Pretty standard canary stuff I hope. This canary runs every 30 minutes.
My Cloudwatch alarm is configured as follows:
With the expected behaviour that if my canary cannot reach the website 3 times in a row, then the alarm should go off.
Unfortunately, this is not what's happening. My alarm was triggered with the following canary data:
Feb 8 # 7:51 PM (MST)
Feb 8 # 8:22 PM (MST)
Feb 8 # 9:52 PM (MST)
How is it possible that these three datapoints would trigger my alarm?
My actual email was received as follows:
You are receiving this email because your Amazon CloudWatch Alarm "...." in the US West (Oregon) region has entered the ALARM state, because "Threshold Crossed: 3 out of the last 3 datapoints [1.0 (09/02/21 04:23:00), 1.0 (09/02/21 02:53:00), 1.0 (09/02/21 02:23:00)] were greater than or equal to the threshold (1.0) (minimum 3 datapoints for OK -> ALARM transition)." at "Tuesday 09 February, 2021 04:53:30 UTC".
I am even more confused because the times on these datapoints do not align. If I convert these times to MST, we have:
Feb 8 # 7:23 PM
Feb 8 # 7:53 PM
Feb 8 # 9:23 PM
The time range on the reported datapoints is a two hour window, when I have clearly specified my evaluation period as 1.5 hours.
If I view the "metrics" chart in cloudwatch for my alarm it makes even less sense:
The points in this chart as shown as:
Feb 9 # 2:30 UTC
Feb 9 # 3:00 UTC
Feb 9 # 4:30 UTC
Which, again, appears to be a 2 hour evaluation period.
Help? I don't understand this.
How can I configure my alarm to fire if my canary cannot reach the website 3 times in a row (waiting 30 minutes in-between checks)?
I have two things to answer this:
Every time a canary runs 1 datapoint is sent to cloudwatch. So if within 30 mins you are checking for 3 failures for alarms to be triggered then your canary should run at a interval for 10 mins. So in 30 mins 3 data point and all 3 failed data points for alarm to be triggered.
For some reasons statistics was not working for me so I used count option. May be this might help.
My suggestion to run canary every 5 mins. So in 30 mins 6 data points and create alarm for if count=4.
The way i read your config, your alarm is expecting to find 3 data points within a 30 minute window - but your metric is only updated every 30 minutes so this condition will never be true.
You need to increase the period so there is 3 or more metrics available in order to trigger the alarm.
Expo multiple local notifications aren't triggering on time. I am receiving only first notification on time while the others at times trigger a bit late or simultaneously. Few times they do get trigger on time but why I am facing such inconsistency in results

I have a use case where I need to run a function daily at 12:00:00 am. My Python code takes 3-4 seconds to initialize and 3 seconds to execute. It would still be fine if my function is triggered within 1 second after 12:00:00 am, but I can't do it with AWS Lambda triggered by AWS CloudWatch.
I have created a AWS Lambda function and it's being triggered every 11:59 pm using AWS CloudWatch Events because it does not provide second level precision. So, it's wasting computing time averaging between 15 - 45 seconds after initializing just to sleep until 12:00:00 am.
Although the price is still quite low, but I just felt annoyed that the majority (>75%) of the computing time taken is used to Sleep. Anyone else has a better idea?
Have you tried scheduling lambda execution using cron expression?
This expression 0 0 * * ? * would run your lambda every day at midnight GMT.
Adjust accordingly to your time zone.
I want to trigger my AWS lambda function on 15th of every month but my function is triggering after every 30 minutes. My function in Serverless.yml is
monthlyTbAlert:
warmup: true
handler: handlers/monthly-tbalert/index.monthlyTbAlert
timeout: 60
events:
- schedule: cron(0 0 10 15 1/1 ? *)
enabled: true
If you want to debug your cron expressions before deploying them, you can go to CloudWatch -> Rules and test them there. It's a very useful playground if you're unsure about what may be going on.
If we grab the expression provided in #Stargazer's answer (which, by the way, is very accurate) and paste it in CloudWatch Rules, we can see when the next triggers will happen:
By using yours, however, we can see no events are shown. If you say it is running every 30 minutes, then there potentially is a bug in CloudWatch rules that triggers invalid expressions every 30 minutes:
According to aws docs, the format is cron(Minutes Hours Day-of-month Month Day-of-week Year)
So you should use this:
0 - Minute 0 of the hours
10- Hours of the day. So, 10:00
15- 15th day of the month
* - Execute it every month
? - Regardless of the day of the week
*- Every year
So, your cron expression should be 0 10 15 * ? * To execute your cron every 15th day of the month at 10:00AM
