I am trying to get an AWS Lambda function to run whenever a new image is pushed to an AWS container registry. I have created and tested the function which works fine. I have then created a simple CloudWatch event rule with the pattern: 

{

  "source": [

    "aws.ecr"

  ]

}

which I believe will trigger on any event from ECR.

The rule has a target of the lambda function. The problem is the function is not called when a new image is pushed to the registry (or deleted etc). Nothing appears in the CloudWatch logs for the function. Is there something missing from the event rule or a way to diagnose what could be going wrong?

You can write the PutImage event to CloudWatch Logs when it gets recorded by Cloudtrail. You can create an Alarm which checks for a PutImage event and then you can trigger the Lambda function using SNS as the trigger. 

The ECR CloudTrail API has to be configured which calls the events.

{

  "source": [

    "aws.ecr"

  ],

  "detail-type": [

    "AWS API Call via CloudTrail"

  ],

  "detail": {

    "eventSource": [

      "ecr.amazonaws.com"

    ]

  }

}

 

Or

 

You should create a Logs Metric Filer, which might be like this:

{ ($.eventSource = ecr.amazonaws.com) && ($.eventName = PutImage) && ($.requestParameters.repositoryName = “<RepoName>”) && ($.errorCode NOT EXISTS) }
