Event source

An event source is the source from which events are published to EventBridge. EventBridge supports Alibaba Cloud service event sources and custom event sources.

Event rule

Event rules are used to filter and transform events that are received by EventBridge. You can use event rules to transform events in CloudEvents format to a format that is supported by event targets.

Event tracing

You can use the event tracing feature to view the details of an event that is published to EventBridge. You can also view the trace of an event that is processed in EventBridge.

Metric monitoring

EventBridge allows you to monitor resources that you create in your Alibaba Cloud account in real time. You can also configure alert rules for CloudMonitor metrics. This way, when a monitoring metric exceeds the specified alert threshold, CloudMonitor can send notifications to you by phone call, text message, email, and DingTalk chatbot.

API destination

An API destination allows you to call the API operations of a third-party SaaS system or a self-managed system that is connected over HTTP in a low-code way and without extra architectures. You can use API destinations to easily build and connect to SaaS applications. This helps prevent data silos.

Event schema

A schema is a version control specification that describes the format and content of data and defines the data format of event bodies to help implement reliable data exchange across heterogeneous systems.
