AWS SNS integration

What this brings you

If your team already routes events through AWS SNS, whether that fans out to Lambda functions, SQS queues, another team's alerting pipeline, or a third-party integration you built yourself, connect HowlOps as a publisher and every alert lands on that same topic. You don't have to build a bridge; SNS already is one.

Setup

1. In AWS, create (or choose an existing) SNS topic and note its topic ARN.
2. Create an IAM user or role with sns:Publish permission scoped to that topic, and generate an access key pair for it.
3. In HowlOps, go to Settings > Notification channels > Add channel > AWS SNS.
4. Enter the topic ARN and the access key / secret key from step 2.
5. Save the channel, then trigger a test alert and confirm a message arrives on the topic (check any subscriber, or SNS's own delivery logs).
