CodeCommit Notification does not send event to SNS - amazon-web-services

I set up Notification in CodeCommit on all events. The rule target SNS topic has a policy that allows principal *. However when I created a pull request. There is no event went through my SNS topic. I have a email subscription to the topic.
What have I missed and what is the possible causes?

I was having the same problem.
The solution is to give permission in SNS to receive notifications from CodeCommit. To do so you need to edit the SNS "Access policy" and add the following rule:
{
"Sid": "AWSCodeStarNotifications_publish",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"Service": [
"codestar-notifications.amazonaws.com"
]
},
"Action": "SNS:Publish",
"Resource": "arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:123456789012:codestar-notifications-MyTopicForNotificationRules"
}
Just make sure to edit the Resource property first.

Is there a way to debug AWS SNS messages?

I'm sending, to a AWS SNS topic, through my application, some messages.
Is there a way to debug if these messages are actually reaching SNS, without attaching any subscription?
My actual "way" to debug is subscribing a SQS queue to catch all messages and see if there's traffic on this SQS destination queue.
(setting this up was not also straight forward since after successful subscription of the SQS, I've found out that I had also to edit Access policies on SQS to allow SNS to reach out the queue other wise no feedback about SNS sending anything)
Adding the following on Access policies Statement JSON prop:
{
"Sid": "topic-subscription-arn:aws:sns:xx-xx-1:9999999999999:my-sns-notifier-topic",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal":
{
"AWS": "*"
},
"Action": "SQS:SendMessage",
"Resource": "arn:aws:sqs:xx-xx-1:9999999999999:my-sqs-queue-catcher",
"Condition":
{
"ArnLike":
{
"aws:SourceArn": "arn:aws:sns:xx-xx-1:9999999999999:my-sns-notifier-topic"
}
}
}
Any better idea?
If by "debug" then you mean read, then it is not possible to do this without attaching a subscription to your topic. If a message arrives for a topic that does not have any subscriptions, it will simply be thrown away by SNS as there is no where to deliver it.

What is difference between aws:SourceAccount and aws:SourceOwner AWS SNS access policy statements

AWS documentation has examples of different SNS access control configurations.
There are two similar configuration examples:
The first one allows to publish notifications from another account's S3 bucket to SNS topic:
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"Service": "s3.amazonaws.com"
},
"Action": "sns:Publish",
"Resource": "arn:aws:sns:us-east-2:111122223333:MyTopic",
"Condition": {
"StringEquals": {
"AWS:SourceAccount": "444455556666"
}
}
}
The second one allows to publish notifications from another account's SES email to SNS topic:
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"Service": "ses.amazonaws.com"
},
"Action": "SNS:Publish",
"Resource": "arn:aws:sns:us-east-2:444455556666:MyTopic",
"Condition": {
"StringEquals": {
"aws:SourceOwner": "111122223333"
}
}
}
The difference is that the first example uses aws:SourceAccount and the second one uses aws:SourceOwner.
The docs has a dedicated paragraph called "aws:SourceAccount versus aws:SourceOwner" but the distinction between these two statements is stil unclear to me.
Could you please clarify the difference between aws:SourceAccount and aws:SourceOwner policy statements?
The difference can be seen only when the owner of a resource is different from the account that the resource belongs to. It's an advanced setup. Here is an excerpt from the official doc that gives an example of this kind of setup.
... it is possible for another account to own a resource in your account. For example, the trusting account might allow the trusted account to create new resources, such as creating new objects in an Amazon S3 bucket.

1. SourceOwner is used for giving access to other AWS Services from a specific account
For example, we want to define a policy that allows only SES from the account 111122223333 to publish messages to the topic 444455556666:
{
"Version": "2008-10-17",
"Id": "__default_policy_ID",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "__default_statement_ID",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"Service": "ses.amazonaws.com"
},
"Action": "SNS:Publish",
"Resource": "arn:aws:sns:us-east-2
:444455556666:MyTopic",
"Condition": {
"StringEquals": {
"aws:SourceOwner": "111122223333"
}
}
}
]
}
2. SourceAccount is used for giving IAM roles access from an account to the topic.
For example, we want to define a policy that allows only the account 444455556666 to publish messages to the topic 111122223333:
{
"Statement": [{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"AWS": "*"
},
"Action": "sns:Publish",
"Resource": "arn:aws:sns:us-east-2
:111122223333:MyTopic",
"Condition": {
"StringEquals": {
"AWS:SourceAccount": "444455556666"
}
}
}]
}
Now for case #1, if you have only 1 account with you, it doesn't make sense because SES will use the same account as the SNS. But if you have more accounts, it brings a benefit in which you only allow SES of a particular account to send messages to your topic.
Hope it helps. If it is not clear, pls put comments, and I will try to explain more.
Putting more information to get things more clear.
Taking an example of S3 send SNS message.
For this case, AWS will use the credentials of an internal S3 account and makes a call on behalf of your account, NOT from resource. Because of that, we need to use the aws:SourceAccount to perform validation in policy.
Taking an example of SES send SNS message.
For this case, AWS will use the credential of an internal S3 account and make a call on behalf of your resource, NOT from account. Because of that, we need to use the aws:SourceOwner in policy.
I would recommend you refer to case by case from documentation to understand which one you need to use. But I do hope you understand the differences between the 2 of them now.
The difference is as others have described. It might be worth noting this from the GitHub issue:
https://github.com/awsdocs/iam-user-guide/issues/111#issuecomment-1252880839
We don't plan to document aws:SourceOwner.
aws:SourceAccount was introduced as the preferred replacement.
So I would suggest using only aws:SourceAccount going forward.

AWS default Access Policy SNS topics and SQS q's

In an attempt to further tighten the security of our solution we are now looking at the used SNS topics and SQS queues. All our components live in the same AWS account.
For starters we want to restrict the access to the SQS queues based on IP. So only requests coming from our NAT Gateway IP will be allowed. We don't allow anonymous access to our SQS queues.
But there seems no way to achieve this as the creator of the SQS queues - the AWS account id - has access per default. So you can't create an effective permission for another user in the same AWS account id. As this newly created user, user2, will fall under the same AWS account id, with the same set of permissions.
Am I correct in my understanding that all users in the same AWS account id have access per default to all created SQS queues as long as their IAM policy permits it? And is my assumption right that the same behavior goes for the SNS topics?
Below is the policy I would like the implement. Beside this policy I have no other policies active for this SQS q. But it is not honoring the source IP condition. I still can connect from everywhere when I use a correct AWS access key/secret combination. Only when I set the AWS principal to * - everyone - the policy seems effective.

Using identity-based policies with Amazon SQS - Amazon Simple Queue Service
Using identity-based policies with Amazon SNS - Amazon Simple Notification Service
Amazon SQS
Amazon SQS has the ability to define Amazon SQS policies. These policies can be used in addition to IAM policies to grant access to a queue.
For example, a policy can be added that permits anonymous access to a queue, which is useful for external applications to send messages to the queue.
Interestingly, these policies can also be used to control access to the queue by IP address.
To test this, I did the following:
Created an Amazon SQS queue
Used an Amazon EC2 instance to send a message to the queue -- Successful
Added the following policy to the SQS queue:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Id": "Queue1_Policy_UUID",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "Queue1_AnonymousAccess_AllActions_IPLimit_Deny",
"Effect": "Deny",
"Principal": "*",
"Action": "SQS:SendMessage",
"Resource": "arn:aws:sqs:ap-southeast-2:xxx:queue",
"Condition": {
"NotIpAddress": {
"aws:SourceIp": "54.1.2.3/32"
}
}
}
]
}
The IP address is that of my Amazon EC2 instance.
I then tried send a message to the queue again from the EC2 instance -- Successful
I then ran the identical command from my own computer -- Not successful
Therefore, it would appear that the SQS policy can override the permissions granted via IAM.
(Be careful... I added a policy that Denied sqs:* on the queue, and I wasn't able to edit the policy or delete the queue! I had to use the root account to delete it.)
Amazon SNS
I managed to achieve the same result with Amazon SNS using this access policy:
{
"Version": "2008-10-17",
"Id": "__default_policy_ID",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "__default_statement_ID",
"Effect": "Deny",
"Principal": {
"AWS": "*"
},
"Action": "SNS:Publish",
"Resource": "arn:aws:sns:ap-southeast-2:xxx:topic",
"Condition": {
"NotIpAddress": {
"aws:SourceIp": "54.1.2.3/32"
}
}
}
]
}

cloud watch event invocation failed to call sns topic

I am a beginner to AWS CloudWatch. The event is not getting triggered when I use AWS java SDK to create CloudWatch event rules, and using sns topic as a target.
It's working fine when created using Direct AWS management console.
Everything remains the same when comparing java sdk creation and management console creation.
The only difference is in aws management console rules invoke, two metrics are created(invocation, TriggeredRules), in java sdk rules invoke, three metrics are created(invocation, TriggeredRules,FailedInvocation).
If you use a custom KMS key on your SNS Topic, you need also add the following policy to your KMS key policy:
{
"Sid": "CloudwatchEvents",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"Service": "events.amazonaws.com"
},
"Action": [
"kms:Encrypt*",
"kms:Decrypt*",
"kms:ReEncrypt*",
"kms:GenerateDataKey*",
"kms:Describe*"
],
"Resource": "*"
}
If you find that it works when created via the console but not if you do it with the API (or something like Terraform) then it is likely that you are not updating the SNS Topic Policy so that it allows events to be published from CloudWatch Events. The console does this for you semi-magically but if you use the APIs you have a bit more work to do.
There is an answer here in the FAQ with the details but the long and short of it is you need to add (not replace) something like this to your SNS Topic Policy:
{
"Sid" : "CloudWatchEvents",
"Effect" : "Allow",
"Resource" : "${aws_sns_topic.events.arn}",
"Action" : "sns:Publish",
"Principal" : {
"Service" : "events.amazonaws.com"
}
}

AWS IoT Rule engine not working

Somehow none of the AWS IoT Rule are working for me.
I published to topic, and sent SNS (as per example).
SELECT * FROM 'acme/temp'
All policy and trust policy are correct , yet it does not fire rule.
Sad part is log level is DEBUG configured yet cloud watch shows only INFO and no info to know why rules not fired.
Trust policy
{
"Version":"2012-10-17",
"Statement":[{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"Service": "iot.amazonaws.com"
},
"Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
}]
Role Policy
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": {
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "sns:Publish",
"Resource": "arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:643170122694:snstopic"
}
}
Pl suggest how to troubleshoot.
I am using MQTT client inside AWS console to publish message to topic. If I subscribe then I get messages. I put my rule configuration here forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?messageID=741034&tstart=0 Can you think of any ways I can troubleshoot .. No matter what rule I write and what action I defined .. it does not fire Iot rule engine. I am using us east 1 region.
